Lowrance FF problem - plug disintegrated - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

to cut the cable . i read that in the hummingbird manual . each manufacturer might be different . our yaks are not 20 ' long , so i would like to take a good 6 ' off , but i would be willing to bet that cutting is not advised due to insulation purposes . i would say buy a new transducer .

Thanks much for all the advice.
Ful-rac - that makes good sense! I would not have thought of that and ive been doing it wrong.

Alanw - dielectric grease it shall be!

I called Lowrance and they suggested buying an extension cable ($22.95) and splicing it in. A new transducer costs $55 as a plan B. Just glad i dont have to shell out for a whole new Ff.
