Re: Transducer repair
You can solder the wires together. Wrap ther wire individually with tape and use a marine grade shrink tube to seal the deal. It has silicone built into the shrink tube that will make a water tight seal when heated. It can be purchased at most dealers. I use QuickSilver(sorry, I can not remember part #).
I have fixed several transducer on customers boats this way (muscrat damage) but tell them there is always the risk of water causing corrosion at the splice. It usually would take several years to cause a problem though.
