I have been installing a new graph in my boat and it has been pain. Now I have two transduecer cables lost under the seats with no way of accessing them. I've tried pulling them towards the back but they're stuck somewhere in the hull. Wondering if anyone has a special trick or idea to set them free.

Straighten out a coat hanger, make a loop around the cable push hanger down cable, when you feel hanger is at end push, pull while turning the hanger.

Try using a fish tape to dislodge them
 Current Cylinder Index is 42.

Try using a fish tape to dislodge them And use one to run them too. Awesome tool for running wires and are fairly cheap.

If you get them loose.get a fish tape and start where you want you're graph push the tape thru and tape wires to the fish tape and put a follow string in their slso so when you pull on tape if you got stuck you can push and pull.

Twisting the cable while trying to pull it back can be helpful, but if it is "lodged" you must be patient.  Also, Home Depot sells a set of small 6' rods (set of 3, made by Greenlee - I think) that connect together that can be very helpful. They are not as flexible as a fish tape, but together with it - the job is more manageable.  Good luck!
