Great ideas
I added the ST turbo fins , never thought about the sail rudder though, hmm

In response to your fish finder.
I did the same thing
However, for a clean install i ran the power/tranducer wire through the sail mast receptacle. The sail mast receptacle unscrews. Although a solid piece of plastic it has a solid divider to form a 2 or 3 inch female end which is placed on the male end that is part of the interior of the hull.

One hole drilled above the divider and a pass through is formed

I also use some electrical tape to seal it up better and minimize any swing on the FF pipe

I have to redo it , since I had a warranty replacement, I'll send some pix.
