FF/GPS Connections - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I use waterproof deck plugs with a liberal amount of dilectric grease just in case.

The more connections you have, the more areas that saltwater has a chance to intrude. Try to minimize these as much as possible. And again... lots of dilectric grease! It has yet to hurt a kayak or electronic gear.

Is it common to cut the wiring/cables and reconnect them with waterproof connectors?

Thanks for your help!

I don't think the transducer cable could be cut. Or, I wouldn't recommend it.
