Ok, bare with me as this may be a lot of typing for nothing but here goes....

I have a 1648 War Eagle that I both hunt and fish out of. When duck season rolled around it was always a pain in the rear taking my trolling motor off the front so I bought one of the quick release brackets from Minn Kota to help me be more lazy!! What I didn't take into consideration was the fact that my transducer cable is attached to the trolling motor and the the connections are under the same plate I had to take off before so I really didn't help myself any by getting the quick release bracket. So my question is....

Is there anyway possible to splice the transducer cable that runs from the connections to the actual depth/fish finder? That way I could just disconnect them, tuck them under the plate and take the motor off without having to unscrew everything as before.

I know this is the lazy man's way out but with 5 kids I have tried to master the art of time saving when I can!!
