humminbird transducer cable help

[Jasonsamko]

Im about to order my humminbird 386 ci combo and wonder if i need the 10 foot or 30 foot extension for the transducer cable to be able to mount on the portside pontoon. my boat is a 2013 sylvan 8522 tritoon.
Thanks,

Measure it. The xducer that comes with it has a 20 ft cable.

Give the dealer a call they should be able to help. How long is the boat and where is the DF going to mount?

The 10' extension will be more than enough..

All depends on how and where you're going to run the cable but with 20' from the unit already I can't imagine you'd need more than an extra 10' if that.

Thanks guys. I didnt know how much cable came with the unit. now that i know it has 20 feet the 10 footer will be more than enough and i can return it if i dont need it. im figuring 3 feet down from helm, 8 feet across the boat, 10 feet back, and 3 feet down so thats 24 feet.
