Trolling motor cable coils?

I know that for my Motorguide the way the cable was coiled, both stowed and deployed was important, I just installed a Ghost, does it matter for that? If I have it where it’s not a tight curve at the pedal, then it has a tight coil when it’s deployed, if I have it straightened when deployed, it had a tight coil at the pedal when stowed. I have tried twisting it every which way, and if I leave the cable in the clips on the side of the motor Mount, it always has a tight coil somewhere. But it’s not a cable drive, so does it matter? 

I just tried it another way, and when deployed it ends up in an “S” shape, but when stowed it’s not bad.
