    Default Transducer cable got cut...can it be fixed??


    Anyone on here ever put a cut transducer cable back together with any success? Thank goodness it's not my good one. This is just one of the cheap humminbirds.
    Thanks for any responses.

    Yes, solder and either heat shrink or liquid tape. I've done a couple. Ya just gotta take your time since the wires are so tiny.

    Yes, I have fixed several. Cut the cover back and off set your splices. I slide a larger piece of heat shrink over cable then smaller pieces for connections. Make connections heat shrink then slide big piece over and shrink it.

    To insure they are water proof use liquid tape on each individual wire then heat shrink them indiviually then liquid tape again and then heat shrink over the whole thing.
