DIY How to 'blaze' the Hobie Pro Angler with Railblaza - Tidy Sounder cables


The Project. This is really basic and not really a DIY but I thought I would share it anyway.
I really wanted to tidy up the sounder cords - I hate cords! I am sitting at a computer every day for my job and the power cords etc. They drive me nuts!

The Plan. Simply tidy them up. This was achieved by firstly filing a bit of a notch in the back of the rotating platform to help the cords sit nicely. I also added a stick on cable guide and the cables run underneath, nice and tidy.

The next step was to simply put cable clips as out of the way as possible to house the cabling, these are quick release and if I want to change the sounder position its an easily achievable, I just put the cables in certain clips.
starport fixing plate underneath to add extra strength.

This helps keep the cords away from hooks jigheads etc.



By using clips it keeps the cords out of the way and if the sounder needs to e moved they are opened quickly. The sounder can go on both sides of the kayak and also at the front sail mount.
