Is it OK to cut and then re-solder back together the cables from a transducer, that run to the instrument? I have the Raymarine i50 and i60 depth, wind and log instruments. I'd like to be able to cut the transducer cables for two reasons. Firstly, it will make running them from the helm into the boat much easier as I have to thread them down a long and tortuous route, and the various connections on the cables make them bulkier than just the wire on its own. Secondly, I am not going to fit the through hull transducers until April, but I want to put my helm back together. Therefore, if I can run the cables now, and re-solder the wires later it makes life much easier. Otherwise I have to take it all apart again in a few months.
The re-soldered connections would be in a clean, dry, and safe area behind the nav station. I'm confident in my soldering skills too. here

Basher, I just did that exact thing last week.<br />If the transducer has a temp probe there will be <br />2 wires and a twisted uninsulated wire wrapped in foil, The 2 wires are yellow and white. The other<br />2 wires blue and black are used for the transducer<br />send and receive. They are also wrapped in foil.<br />If you cut them be sure to used heat shrink tubbing and 60/40 solder reconnect them. donot use crimp on connectors. It will work just fine. [links]
This is how we run the transducer cable on electric steer motors for our customers. We wrap black electrical tape on the blue hose for best cosmetic appearance.
We take the cable to the top of the shaft through an eyelet we attache to the lift assist handle we install and run the transducer cable down the large coil. We then tuck the remainder of the transducer cable into the clam-shell leaving enough cable to attach to the graph. [links]
I thought if I could shorten the cable, I can leave the transducer on the Terrova and just leave an extension through the deck running to the Lowrance.

I've done it twice to cables I've broken by pinching against the bracket and hooking it on a stump. I soldered each one and put heat shrink tubing on each wire. Then put a larger heat shrink tube over the whole area. Then covered all that with three coats of liquid electric tape. The first one I didn't reconnect the shielding material and it has some interference in the signal. The second one I 'sewed' the shielding back together and I haven't had any issues.
