Everything is mounted on the TM, transducer wiring and head unit, it all folds away with the TM. And for the record, I cut and spliced my transducer wires, all works good.
I have an older Garmin that I might try to install on my bow if the thru-hull ducer wire will reach the front of the boat. I changed to an Elite HDI 7 about a year ago, but I left the Garmin 170C thru hull transducer in place. Thanks to this thread, I will try to hook it up on the bow.

Might have to ask for splicing advice Marty if the wire ain't long enuf.
