Anyone have an old Humminbird power cable?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Anyone have an unwanted Humminbird power cable/wire they may be willing to part ways with?
I'm looking for the cable that connects the fishfinder to the battery.
A 2 pin connector, the one with the fuse on it.
One of the pins snapped on mine, and Humminbird wants $15 for a new wire.
Thanks all,

Willy

Call Humminbird customer service and tell them that your power cable has rotted away. It has happened to me twice and both times they replaced it for free. I think they know that their power cord design is not very robust.

Give it a try.

Well I called Humminbird...
Great customer support, really nice people, but alas...
No new cable.
Oh, they will send me the $15 cable at a $10 dollar shipping rate.

So if anyone has an old Humminbird power cable they no longer need please let me know.
Yeah, I'm that cheap. Tough being a college student.

Thanks all,

Willy

I've got one that is about 4' long. It is used, but still in very good condition. The pins still have dielectric grease on them, so there is no corrosion. PM me if you need it.
