Gotta be very careful though -- with analog transducers, the length of
the cable is figured into the delay time which is what the souonder
uses to work out the depth. Might have to recalibrate.

Splicing is certainly possible. And, yes, the cable is, as you say,
"sensitive", and the splice won't do it a whole lot of good. One must splice
not only the center conductor, but the shield as well. Providing a little
more shielding over the splice won't hurt a thing, and may well prevent the
sounder's noise from leaking out into other things. (radios, loran, gps
etc). Just remember the added aluminum foil (or whatever) added over the
splice must be connected to the cable's shield. Should work, though.
