I am forward planning some winter projects. I am in the fortunate position of having bought a boat with 2 sounder units (a HDS 12 and and HDS 7). The 12 was set nicely in the helm's dash but the 7 was set right on top of the dash, partially blocking the direct view out the windshield.
Moving the protective cover around last night, I believe that I can move it into the storage cabinet above the windshield (typically holds VHF and the like). I estimate that I need to extend each of the cables to the unit by ~ 8 feet.
Looking on line, I have found a transducer extension of 12' for ~ $100. Extrapolate this to a $400 bill with excess cabling to bundle, I wonder if there is a way to buy cables by the foot? Has anyone tried this in the past? I will give Lowrance and HC a direct call but thought that I would put it out here as well.
Thanks in advance.
