Minn Kota MKR-US2-10 Universal Sonar 2 Adapter Cable – Lowrance

It is the only one that works !

works great with new trolling motor!!!

Made connecting the system easy. Was out fishing right away.

This will work perfect for Minkota to Garman.

Just what ordered on time

I suppose the cable is fine, however it's only getting one star because of the absolute ineptness of Minn-Kota.I have a Minn-Kota Terrova with the built in transducer, not even 10 months old. I decided to install a basic Lowrance sonar this spring. Minn Kota's compatibility with basic sonars is minimal and now that Lowrance has discontinued many of its basic sonars it's very difficult to find a sonar that will work with my very expensive built-in trolling motor transducer.I finally find a Lowrance unit that supposedly works with my trolling motor. Order the unit, cover and this adapter cable. It all comes in just fine, until I unpack the unit. At some point Lowrance updated their unit and Minn-Kota never caught it. Instead of a 6 pin friction plug, the unit now has a 5 pin power plug and a 7 pin sonar plug. So this adapter cable will never work with it. I called Minn-Kota tech support and they were as lost as a blind rat in a dark room.I am now told I need to purchase the US2-10 cable for the sonar. So now I have to return the cable and search out the -10 cable. I am doing this locally to make sure it's the correct cable before I buy it, this is getting ridiculous; I say that because I've already had to cancel one full order due to incompatibility with new sonars.A very poor showing on Minn-Kota's part. If they basically weren't the only game in town regarding trolling motors I'd rip the whole thing off my boat and never utter the company name again.For what should have been a very simple transaction and install for a $130 sonar it's turning into a massive quest to hopefully piece this puzzle together.I know it sucks, but order/buy your sonar first, then see what connections it has and then order the adapter cable if you need it. Save yourself a ton of idiotic parts chasing because Minn-Kota is just flat out lazy.

Satisfied

Got this to connect my Lowrance Hook 5 to my Minnkota Fortrex that I bought used. At first I was getting feedback where my screen quit working when I hit the power button on the motor (not that this is a problem with this adapter and more with the trolling motor) but once I separated (rerouted/moved) the transducer cable from the motor power cables that problem stopped. Another way to say the same thing is the cable for the transducer is not laying and running right beside the trolling motor power cord. I have upgraded Lowrance units and this also works with my Hook 7 as well as my Hook 9 if I want to put it at the front of the boat. If your MinnKota has the factory built in transducer and your using Lowrance electronics this adapter gets my recommendation

Excelente producto, llego en el tiempo avisado y pues es necesario para comunicar el ojo del troleador minnkota con el sonar lowrance generación 3, hay q que revisar nada mas si la entrada del sonar es de 7 o 9 pines, en este caso es de 7.

Cable is OEM quality form Minn Kotta

Right connection for the job.

Works ok

Make sure you know that this adapter is only about 6” long. Work for my application as the front finder is next to the trolling motor.
