Are there any issues with the HB Tducer cable wrapping up around the shaft when it spins 360 degrees?

[kosmo]

The xi5,almost always,won't go past 360°when I hit the spot lock function. (It has went past 360°a few times with no issues) .
The I way I have the transducer cable coiled ,it won't hurt anything going past 360°.I think I've got 5 coils around the trolling motor shaft,but I've got several more coils in the transducer cable,that alow the cable to have lots of expansion .

So is the Tducer cable pre coiled from the factory?
I have a straight cable on the xnt9SI180t tducer, wonder how it would work?

[kosmo]

....no the cable doesn't come coiled.I used an air hose,that I split on the inside of the coils.this method works,but I wish that I could think of another way. (It looks kind of strange to me).

Could the ducer cable be ran thru the existing coil on the trolling motor and just leave plenty of slack at the top? Or would that create excessive interference on the head unit?

here's a picture in the stowed position.Not sure coiling the transducer cable with trolling motor cable,but if you do a different setup,please post some pictures here.
