    Neat Product

    I think im gonna try these. I iust have zip ties on mine and it works fine but i like the top loop that bolts on that the cable can slide through when the head rotates on the ultrex.

    I got the same thing from Chad ashmore (amp products) they are awesome you can move the clamps depending on tm depth and the cable keeper is nice to keep the cable from wrapping around the ultrex head. I def recommend.

    I was fine with the zip ties holding my cable on and didnt really need the clips so i just made my own bracket. Now i just gotta install and re route the cable better. The way i have it works but its in the way.

    Nice bracket Roy....

    You mentioned cable ties. Obviously do what serves you best but I only like to use electrical tape running wires down my older TM’s. No extra cables going down my Ghost now. But reason I say this is I’ve picked up on you taking care of your boat like me and wipe it down often. Cable ties are the devil on fingers and knuckles. They will knick you up nearly every time . Electrical tape is smooth and you never have to worry bout that part of it again. Just passing it along on why I liked using the electrical tape placed clean and uniformly over those cable ties.

    ^^ also the zip ties can actually damage the fibers in the cable

    I see your point zip tie cuts are no fun. Get them at work alot lol. I have a pair of wire cutters that cuts them about as close to flush as possible and i dont cinch them very tight to risk damaging anything. I have seen alot of guys use tape and just about all of them always have that tail or tape that starts peeling off especially in the heat of the sun.

    Hey guys, that’s my invention and Product. I’m working with Prec Sonar on a wholesale level now and they’re selling my Cable Management Systems. I have them for Ultrex, Fortrex, Ghost and Force.
    If anyone needs just the cable keeper itself then I can sell them completely separate from the clips.

    Good to know. How much for just the upper bracket?

    They're tightened with zip ties. The ties slide underneath the transducer cable and wrap around. It makes for a nice and neat setup. Cable stays in place but has a little flex for movement.

    This is the size I bought: Link
    One of the reviews shows a picture of them on a trolling motor shaft.

    Thats a nice product, I have just used black electrical tape over the years, definitely more give to that then tie raps which tend to wear on the cables with the vibration
