INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Step Six - Route the Cable Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring that the cable can be routed along. Do not cut or shorten the transducer cable and try not to damage the cable insulation. Route the cable as far as practical from the VHF radio antenna cables or tachometer cable to reduce the possibility of If the cable is too short, extension cables are available to extend the transducer cable up to a total of 50' (15 m).
