Sovereign XS coil cable

[XL-PRO PRO]

Is there a reason for the coil cable on the XS being so long?I'm tempted to shorten mine if for no other reason to lighten the shaft assembly.Thanks,DBULL

It is that long so it can be hip mounted, which is my favorite way to run my GT, because it's so lightweight. Send OBN a pm he could tell you for sure. I don't believe there would be a problem with shortening it.

Fletch is correct, only thing I can add is save what you cut off, and do the final wrap with the Rescue tape. I have shortened most of mine for it's less to worry about.

Thanks;I rewound the cable to where all but a couple of twists are on the upper part of the shaft.I do have it hip mounted but it still seems pretty heavy.I have the old linear meter mounted on the shaft and the cable from it running to the control box.It just seemed like there was a whole lot of extra cable going from the coil to the meter.Still have a hard time doing the slow swing after years of using an XL-PRO.DBULL
