1712 scanner cable

[Bluecollerboater]

I have a Furuno 1712 Radar. I’m going to mount The scanner on top of my T-top. I am going to mount the monitor on the underside of the T-top( so it will be in the overhead of the helm area). I do not have an electronics box. My question is can I wrap the cable around the scanner base on top of my T-top? Or does anyone have a better suggestion. I just think a coiled cable hanging down over the helm area Will look awful.

While you could do that I would suggest it be secured out the the direct elements. Sun light might eventually degrade the cable sheath. Could you run it down one T-top side, wrap excess below a console and up to the monitor the other side?

I don’t think I can get down one of the 2 sides of the T-top.full of wires from other electronics already. Maybe put a coating on it to halt the UV degradation. I was more concerned about interference from the cable wrapped around the bottom of the scanner .
