Broken lug on depth transducer.

[James R]

This transducer is molded black hard plastic. From experience I know that epoxy will not make a good repair. I see products such as Plastifix and Plastex are touted as being an answer. Does anyone have experience in this type of repair. The Lug is still to hand.

I know certain plastics can be near impossible to repair with glues and cements...maybe JB Weld would hold?....Maybe Gorilla Glue?...maybe buy a new unit?

straight snap can be welded. hold a razor blade in a vice and heat till red hot then hold both sides of the break to the sides of the hot metal then drag towards yourself so the melted plastic meets as it comes off the hot metal. if the snap is close to the ele cable or real ragged then try glue. you can always look at buying a new internal mount one as a upgrade so you dont snap the next one

Repaired with hot glue and it appears to be strong. Thanks for the info anyway. Your response is appreciated.
