Paul, I agree, that's not a big deal, but Francois was going to put new transducers in and re-use the wiring from the old transducers. That's two splices in shielded cable, versus none. I'd go with new wire that comes from the transducer all the way to the head end, no point in introducing two major failure points in delicate wiring on a boat.
