Ultrex Trolling Motor Cable Jacket

[Snagged]

My trolling motor cable has gotten really stiff. Can I cut the cable jacket and replace it with a neoprene style. What are your recommendations.

I have the T-H Marine neoprene jacket on my Ultrex to keep all my cables in place but still have the factory cover also. The jacket does fit nice.

No problem -- cut that stiff sucker off.

I seem to recall my wife using those exact words on day.

Run a youtube video of Nancy Pelosi in front of your trolling motor. That jacket should stay limp for months...

TH marine cable jackets are way to expensive and they fade fast ! BPS sells a cheaper one and if you go on Amazon ? I found one for less than $10 !

I just cut the jacket off mine last week and put a cover on it from Amazon for $20. It's plenty long and can be cut to length. It's a lot more flexible now.

Did that about a year ago on mine. Left enough on both ends to protect the wires and removed the plastic in the middle. No issues.

Same here

I bought this one a couple of years ago and works good. 10 feet long so enough for 2 trolling motors for the same price as the ones labeled for trolling motors.

I did the same thing to keep my wire protected.

Great idea. I would have never thought of that.

I got mine from WireCare.com, thicker (but still flexible) than the TH troll jacket and it won't fade to purple after a few months. You need the 2" × 5' for anyone who's interested.

Also have the Wirecraft, much better solution than the TH Marine and similar branded Neoprene covers.

This is what I did too. At first I had all my transducer and M-360 cables run together but got interference. Took the cables out and wrapped them in a different type of wrap similar to what we now use for rod covers. It didn't help. Yes, the TM cable is much easier to get along with now.

I cut mine off and tape it with pvc tape its like electrical tape but 2 inches wide and leaves no residue. I taped it looser where I need it to be more flexible for how I stow it and deploy it without ever having to mess w it.
