Hi All-
I finally bought my portable boat. I am waiting for delivery and in an effort to get out on the water as quickly as possible, I need some direction regarding a potential obstacle.
I purchased a MinnKota Trolling Motor Power Center and a Humminbird PiranhaMAX 170 Fish Finder.

I know that the Minkota box has 2 12v cigarette lighter style sockets, for accessories. I can't find a picture or diagram anywhere which tells me what is on the end of the Humminbird power line. I am certain that I will need a cigarette lighter adapter of some kind to connect these two devices together, but I can't find one for the life of me.
It would be great if someone can point me in the right direction, so I might have this adapter on hand when the boat and Humminbird 170 arrive.
I have given thought to a separate battery for the fishfinder since some folks talk of interference, but with this boat being portable and already having a battery, trolling motor & 4 HP outboard, you can understand the space and weight issue if I keep adding stuff.
I wanted to try the direct to trolling motor battery scenario first, and if I do experience too much interference I can always buy the extra battery.
As always, thank you so much for any assistance you can provide.
