Fish finder question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

fishkiller951 · 06-03-2020, 07:07 PM

The plastic nut on my sons fish finder that goes from the transducer to the fish finder broke. Is there a way to replace the nut or cable? Or will he have to replace the transducer. Thanks for any help.

It is the red plug from transducer to FF

The red one should be the power cable. Can you push it back on? If not just replace the cable.

Thanks. Never found the red nut. We will look and see how difficult it is to get to the power source. Found the chords online.

Yeah-if it’s just a power cable, that’s a super easy replacement. It does not go to the transducer, but it just connects to the battery. Hell, if you’re close to NELA, i’ve got one you can have

Amazon has them. I bought one last month for my second ride. There is two models on the market. One model is just a straight power cord. The other model has NMEA which you probably do not need for a kayak.

. The price has been fluctuating up and down because of supply and demand. A fair price is about 25$.

Thanks prof for the offer. I'm in the 951, just as much in gas. I will check amazon or lorrance. Thanks for all the input.

I assumed it was a red plug that was missing since mine has a red and a blue. This is a pic of the back of his FF. I'm assuming plug nut that is missing is the male and it plugs into the sonar on the FF. Don't see that cable offered by lowrance. Thanks for any help ff 1.jpg
