Hello All,
I want to add an Airmar TM150 to my system. I have a 2018 Ranger Z521L. Presently has 16 Carbon at the console with LSS2 plugged into 9 pin and PDWBL ( shoot through ) plugged into Blue 7 pin. At bow is Carbon 12 with 3in1 plugged into 9 pin, blue 7 pin open.
I want to add the TM150 at the Jackplate, and want to keep the PDWBL for running on pad. TM150 is ordered along with a 10' extension and 7 to 9 pin adapter. It looks like the TM150 comes with a 10' cable.
I am planning on pulling PDWBL from 16, adding 10' extension and running it up to the 12 at the bow, and running the TM150 to the newly opened up 7 pin port at the 16. Not sure if there will be enough cable even with the extension for the pdwbl to make it to the 12 at the bow.
FINALLY the question - If there is not enough cable which would be the better option 1 - add a 2nd 10' cable to this run ( thinking not good, could weaken signal ?? ), or 2- invest in a Sonar Hub, placed at mid point of the boat ( thinking will hurt the pocket bigtime ! LOL, and not sure of any issues with these set ups) ??
Thanks in advance for any input !
