Airmar TM260-BL or TM260-9N for HDS gen 3

[chowder]

Being as how it seems unwise and fraught with too many issues, I have decided to not attempt to find a way to put a thru hull transducer in my aluminum boat. However I'm pretty serious about being able to id bait/fish on plane so I'm looking at pairing an Airmar TM260 1kW  transom mount with a HDS gen 3 display. I can get a TM260 with Navico 7 pin blue (the BL version) or with Navico 9 pin Xsonic connector (the 9N version). Which one plugs into the HDS gen 3?

You will need to connect to the 7 pin on the head unit so I would say the blue connector is what you need. My TM150 came with the 9 pin and I had to buy an adapter to convert to 7 pin blue to get my HDS9 to recognize the ducer.

That's what I thought. Thanks!
