Go to this thread and also YouTube. Look for posts on mounting transducer to PDv2 motors. They have the same limitations as your Xi5.

Here is how I would do it if it was me. Mount transducer and tie off cable at motor. Mount some kind of ring eye/clamp that is split and can slide cable back and forth in. Mount it to motor head. Then put a wire tie with mounting eye made into it on the cable above the ring eye. Then hook a small bungie to that once deployed to keep slack out of cable running down
shaft.
