Malibu Kayak Stealth 14 with X-Wing

I have a question when it comes to the fish finder install on the X-wing! I myself have the Stealth-14 being shipped to me from OEX and I am going to install the eagle cuda 300 myself. Question: Once I install the finder on the x-wing and route the wires through it to the battery, how will I then route the ducer cable from the x-wing into the hull of the yak? Should I even install the ducer inside or find a different way? It just looks easy and neat to put in the hull.... Please help if anyone can!!

Look on Kayak Fishing Supplies, search wire seal as well as deck connector. This is how you will get the transducer routed in the hull. If you split the power to the x wing
(battery in x wing)and the transducer to the hull, you will need a deck connector on your X wing, to make it removable, otherwise route both to hull and battery in hull.

The guys from OEX are sending me a wire seal (whats the purpose of the seal?) but never mentioned the deck connector. I better hit them up with a message before they send the yak out. I also saw this type of install too, what do you think?
