12 Transducers for Fishfinders
1.5 Cable Runs
Consider the following before installing the system cables:
• You need to attach the power cable and the transducer cable.
Additional cables will be required if you are installing an inte-
grated system.
• Allcables shouldbe adequately secured,protected from physical
damage and protected from exposure to heat. Avoid running
cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot
objects.
• Acute bends must be avoided
• Where a cable passes through anexposed bulkhead or deckhead,
a watertightfeed-through should be used.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any
extra cable and tie it out of the way.
