That is great. At the time I was installing my electronics I did not know much about them really but right in the structions...assuming you read them...it said DO NOT CUT OR SPLICE the transducer cable.

I do have to admit though...the only place I have ever soldered a wire together was to extend the NMEA wires to connect VFH, GPS and sonar together. This was after many conversations and I could not find anyone who did crimp them due to them being 20 or 22 AWG wires.
