transducer lead length

[Gulfstar 37]

First request on this site. I have upgraded my system from ST60+ to the networking system when I installed our autopilot. I have purchased the itc5 modual and would like to use the st60+ transducers for depth and speed to intergrate into the system with a new multifunction display.

Question I have is can I shorten the transmitters lead length on the speed and depth transducers and hook into the ITC5 modual without effecting their function.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Gulfstar,

While the speed transducer cables may be shortened, it is not recommended that depth or temperature instrument transducers cables be shortened. As a best installation practice, it is recommended that excess transducer cable be loosely coiled (minimum bend radius not less than 3") and secured to a bulkhead.
