Re: Anyone a Savage Tech?
Can't you get a plug that goes around the wires and then push into a bigger hole and then seal with silican

Re: Anyone a Savage Tech?
fitting the actual plug through the transom isnt the issue at all. its routing the cable through the tight access that the existing one is routed through. Savage have placed this angle bracket right over the hole so i need to some how get the cable through this tube that is now formed by that right angled bracket.smile0784 wrote:Can't you get a plug that goes around the wires and then push into a bigger hole and then seal with silican

Here is the back of the boat. The tube section sits behind this little platform. Theres a gap of about 1cm between the end of the tube/bracket and the side pocket that sits under the gunnel.

Sorry Sputnik,
I was reading your post incorrectly thinking you were talking about wiring under the gunnel, my wiring goes through the rear step and through the transom, its not through where your pic shows

Re: Anyone a Savage Tech?
Would something similar to the plastic stuff sparkies use to route wiring through holes in walls possibly work?
Only other option is cut the existing wiring at the transducer, tape the crap out if it to the new transducer plug and wiring then feed that through from the dash

Re: Anyone a Savage Tech?
As already mentioned, use yellow tongue or before taking the old wire out, tape the new wire to the end of the old wire and pull it through as your pulling the old wire out.

Re: Anyone a Savage Tech?
I have a savage 5.1 2002 model. I installed an elite 7 ti with total scan transducer.
I had the exact same problem and could not get cable out so in frustration I cut the cable. I had a lms240.
I had to cut a new hole in line with the current transducer hole which I had to enlargen to make hole bigger. If you look through your transducer hole you will see a panel. I cut throug that and fed the new cable through that and it comes out above your current exit point.
I will take a photo tonight and try to post it.
Cheers
Sorry the new cable comes out below current exit.
I’m having trouble attaching photos. If you pm me your no. I’ll send them.
