I have set up mine to 'hang' under the starboard side gunnel and only peel off what is needed. I would never switch to shorter cables as we make trips to the Bahamas and you never know how long of a cord you will need. I have had to peel all 50' off several times as the pedestal for my slip was not functioning, typical Bahamas. I used a starboard hangers for this, kind of like a water hose coil for your house only smaller profile. Keep them out of the way and I leave the connection on the boat connected, remove from the pedestal, coil, and away we go. If I had a photo I would post it but I don't at the moment.
