blackhorse83,
They can be repaired as long as it hasn't been in the water, if the cable gets water down in it then they are tough to repair do to the moisture being trapped inside the wire, there is a single wire that goes to the crystal and then there is a shielded wire, like coaxial cable, if the main wire has not been breached then you should be ok, if the main wire has been breached what I have done is cut the transducer cable, pull back the shielding and solder the main wire in the center back together, then I'll put electrical tape around the soldered joint, then twist your shielding together, the shielding can't touch that center wire, before you do anything cut a 8 inch piece of shrink tubing and where you cut the wires slide that up on there, after your done splicing then slip that tubing down over your joint, should have at minimum 4 inches on each side of the splice and shrink it down, when the unit is turned on should hear a clicking noise coming from the transducer if not then your going to have to purchase a new Transducer, now if it's a dual transducer then your going to have a main wire going to each crystal which is really going to get tough as I have never had much success at the dual transducers vs single transducer...........Doc
