I have never cut a transducer cable. Is it a shielded pair or is it a co-ax cable? If it is just a shielded pair, length makes absolutely no difference.

Did the splicing on Sunday. I took out about six inch's of cable. there was 4 wires plus a ground wire. I soldered. shrink tubed and liquid taped the connections. Then the outer skin I shrink tubed, taped and covered completely with liquid tape. Went out today and the unit was working perfectly. Thanks everyone for your help.
Good deal!Quote:

does anybody have a transducer for a piranaha max 15 they would like to get rid of ?
Make a jumper for the tin foil sheild and test it.
