Active Target 2 Power Cable with the Sync Wire

I just sold my Lowrance Active Target module, so I needed to make up a new power cable for my Active Target 2. There is a major change how you make the power cable. The blue wire is now used, this is the synchronization wire. It is used to sync between multiple Active Target modules or the S3100 sonar module, and possibly to a HDS Pro unit. This will let the transducers to be coordinated to minimize noise that you may have seen on earlier versions.

This is a long detailed video where I not only show you the steps in making up the connections but also a bit of why it is done that way. And I did add a section on the end showing the final step for the cables. Hopefully you will learn from it and make your boating electronics experience better.

Remember: Do it right, do it once.
