Default Extending wire leads on Flux gate sensor

Steve, Go to the manufacturer and get an extension. Splicing can lead
to failure when wire come loose or corrodes, etc. Extensions are not
expensive.Chuck

I'm installing a Autohelm auto pilot which has a remotely located. The
recommendation is a location that is low and near the center of motion.
However, the cable lead is only 25ft long. That's about 15ft short of what I
will need to reach the ideal area (mid ship).

Since the cable run is inside, I don't have any problem doing a splice and
seal of the cable. I'm just concerned if there might be some degradation of
the signal from the flux sensor..

I'm think, "not a problem" but I would appreciate comments on this..
