    Running Lowrance LSS-1 cables, This gets complicated ...

    My boat is a Z21. I have installed 2 LSS-1 boxes on the back wall of my Right side dry storage locker. When I run my LSS-1 Transducer and ethernet cable from my bow / trolling motor thru the right side gunnel tube the cables come out under the drivers console and i need to make a U turn and go thru my small dry storage and into the large dry storage locker where my LSS-1 modules are mounted. The problem is that I don't have enough cable length. EASY SOLUTION, but more costly {$110.} is to buy a 25' ethernet cable and an extension LSS-1 transducer cable. BUT NO, This is too easy for my ego. NEXT POSSIBLE SOLUTION....Relocate 1 LSS-1 module to an area below the drivers console , That solves the short transducer cable problem , but I'm not sure if the 13' ethernet cable supplied will reach back to the bow thru the gunnel tube. I NEED A WAY GET THE 2 CABLES FROM THE BOW THRU THE CENTER OF THE BOAT [possibly] AND INTO THE LARGE RIGHT SIDE DRY STORAGE, WITH OUT MAKING SWISS CHEESE OUT OF MY BOAT. A few small holes are fine. Can I get into the center rod locker by drilling in the area of the recessed TM pedal ? There has got to be a way!! Im asking Rodney, Ghost Comanche and the other Ranger brains to figure this out w me.

    I can't leave anything stock, I can't leave well enough alone.
    I need to customize everything. I think I can improve others
    designs, sometimes.

    False ALARM ...After a sleepless night, know there had to be a way. I totally removed the rod racks from the center console, to find the center rod locker shares the front wall with the front area under the aluminum panel that houses the accessory pad. Simply put, just drilled a small hole up there and in the right side wall of the center rod locker behind the rod holder into the right side dry storage to my LSS-1 modules. All that worry for nothing. THe best thing I've learned from this forum is " If you don't try something, instead of just looking and analyzing the problem, nothing will get done!
