    I am installing a Raymarine fishfinder on my dinghy (an older HSB
    unit). The depth transducer has a an approximately one inch connector on
    the end that I will never be able squeeze through the tiny and crowded
    cable race to the transom.

    The manual for the transducer is emphatic that the cable should _never_ be
    cut, yet if surf around the Raymarine site, there is a notice about how to
    install adapt an ST60 transducer to an ST50 instrument -- the answer is to
    cut the cable and attach the ST50 plug to the ST60 cable using a sealed
    junction box.

    Is there any real reason that I cannot just cut the cable in the middle and
    splice it back together?

    Many thanks and a happy new year.

    Best,

    Steve
