Run a New Transducer cable on a 396 Carver

Postby paulr » June 22nd, 2025, 4:30 pm

Does anyone have experience running a wire from the bridge dashboard to the bilge on a Carver 396 to install a new transducer? There must be somewhere that I could run a snake down from top to bottom.
Thanks

On ours, under the bridge helm there is a large panel held on with eight screws. Open that and you have access to behind the helm electronics. You can then see where the throttle cables are run - which lead down to the engineroom. Maybe look where the throttle cables leave the bridge and then go into the engineroom and see where they enter there. I've never traced it out fully, but hopefully this gives you some ideas. Good luck!!
