VGA over CAT5e

Hi Guys,
I need to get a VGA signal from the Nav Station in my boat to the
monitor in the bridge. I could just run a VGA cable (about 4m worth)
but I need to pass the cable through some small holes for the looming
(sp?) and the DB15 connectors wont fit unless I make the hole bigger.
I am thinking about running the VGA singal over CAT5e, which a Google
search seems to suggest is possible. I was wondering if anyone had any
better ideas, keeping costs fairly low.
Has anyone here had any success cutting the end off a VGA cable and
wiring on a new DB15 for example?
Thanks in advance,

VGA cable is shielded
and CAT5 is not, so you would get some horrible ghosting.
BTW, there may still be some ghosting even with VGA cable
