Has anyone figured out a good way or seen a good way to route and secure an external transducer cable on the xi5 or ulterra?

He makes a neat Setup using the air hose idea above (with custom CNC brackets to attach to the TM) ...

This is a neat idea though, and would protect the cable.
The motorguide xi5 nor the Ulterra have the channel in the shaft to run the transducer cable in. I wish they did. I'm going to follow up on rnvinc's suggestion though.
Or do it yourself
It's time consuming but very doable.
I've done it 2x
Easier 2d time
Brett are you taking about the coiled air hose install or another method?

I think it takes about 6 coils
