    I have mind set up this way and it works good. Just remember to leave enough wire so the motor can turn freely. 180 degree both ways.

    I did the same thing years ago but I ran the cable though a 1/2" flexible conduit and tied the bottom and top with radiator clamps to the shaft in case I hung it up. I ran the flex through the deployment handle also. I left plenty of slack so the motor would turn 360 degrees.
    I think the mistake a lot of us make is thinking the state-appointed shrink is our friend.

    Hi guys. Does the cable actually hang freely - in front of the shaft, and from what I
    can tell, the release latch, on the newer models needs a hole drilled big enough for the
    transducer to slide thu... is that correct?

    Rick.
