You can cut and shorten the cables if you wish, but make sure all joins are soldered, waterproofed and ahe foil and wire shields are rejoined.

You can cut and shorten the cables if you wish, but make sure all joins are soldered, waterproofed and ahe foil and wire shields are rejoined.
I coil mine in a long loop about 600mm long, and then cable tie it flat.
That is why they recommend not to cu tthe cables to shorten them. [links]
All modern transducer cables have double (or more) shields for stopping noise interference, so coiling them doesn't affect anything in practice. [links]
I extended a Lowrance Transducer Cable by 37m last month and it worked perfectly.

Hooking up a Network is a little more complicated than an Ethernet system. A Network consists of a power node, a “backbone” (multiple ones may be needed), T connectors to connect each input device and unit to the network and a set of terminators at each end of the network. Think of a network like the water system in a neighborhood…the backbone is the water main and each home is connected by a “T” connector to a pipe bringing water to the home. more
One of the great features of today’s modern fishing electronics is the ability to bring in data from outside sources (antennas, electric motors, temp probes etc.) and the ability to share any data from one unit on any or all of the other units in a boat. Lowrance uses two unique systems to share data between units. more
Using both systems is usually what ends up happening in today’s modern fishing boats. In my current boat I have the following setup:
Hardware: 5 HDS units (2 on bow/2 on dash/1 in-dash for engine info and fuel
gauges)
1 StructureScan 3D box
1 NEP expansion box
Ethernet Inputs: Sirius Weather/ ALL units are hooked to Ethernet cables via the NEP boxes to share waypoints, sonar inputs, side scan, down scan and map chips
Network Inputs: Point 1 GPS antenna/MotorGuide Xi5 bow mount electric motor/Link-8 Marine Radio with distress call/Engine data/ Engine water pressure/external water temperature/Fuel level/Fuel flow/Oil level/
ALL units are hooked to the Network via “T” connectors.
The second system is the NMEA 2000 or “LowranceNET”. Often simply referred to as a “Network” this system allows users to bring in data from outside inputs such as GPS antennas, temperature probes, engine data, fuel level and flow, MotorGuide Xi5 electric motors and others. In addition, a network can also be used to share waypoints between units of all vintages including the newest Gen2 and Gen3 units.
