Yea, don't do it just coil up the excess cable. Why would you want to cut
it in the first place? The sounder will not work properly if you shorten
the cable.

Has anyone had any experience with cutting and splicing the transducer
cable for recent vintage like LMS320 lowrance fish finders? I am
contemplating doing this so I don't haveto cut such a big hole in hull
to run the connector thru. Related to that if you cut the cable what
kind of wiring is in there for the actual transducer?

Is it a shielded twisted pair or is it coaxial like
the older ones. I am thinking of using one of my older transducers
for another location but if the new units used the balanced twisted
pair shielded cable then it probably wont' work very well.

BTW, so far the LMS320 looks like a quality piece of equipement.
Certainly a helluva improvement over my old Raytheon or Humminbird not
to mention my old paper chart.
