RAM Transducer Arm Mount Fix?
I've been using this type of Transducer for the last few seasons; i like the option of a removable fish finder however, when connecting the Transducer to the Fish Finder (female part) I didn't line up the male and female parts correctly and bent one of the prongs (male parts) that inserts into the fish finder, sorry no pics.
Does anyone use this type of Transducer and has anyone ran into this problem? Or, do i need to buy a whole new transducer mount? any help is greatly appreciated. Tight Lines! dp. |

Bent Pin
The "prong" you referred to is a pin which sends a signal one way or the other. If it is not broken you can try gently straightening it out. If it breaks when you try to straighten it you are probably out of luck unless you know somebody that repairs electrical plugs. Good Luck!

On my raymarine, the pins are on the fish finder side, not the cable side, I hope this is not the case with yours because a broken or bent pin on the fish finder side is not easy to replace. |
