[cool][#0000ff]Yeah, I have cut and spliced the cables on a couple of sonar systems to make it easier to stash and carry on my float tube. But, after the last one...with all the additional wires inside the main cable, I don't think I would try it again. It works okay and a proper sealing job makes it waterproof, but the connection becomes bulky by the time you reconnect all of the little wires.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]These days I just roll up the extra cable, into a small bundle, and then use a couple of plastic ties to cinch it tight. It doesn't really take that much room, and if you ever need to mount it to a boat...or want to sell it to someone else...it is intact.[/#0000ff]
