Default Transducer wire fix

Argh !!! How do I fix this? From my Fish Easy II. Been using it almost 10 years and still works like new.

I can try and hard wire it to the unit, but if anyone knows how to re-attach this to the connector, cool.

Careful solder would be your best bet

before U solder it, take a short sewwing needle. Taper and sharpen the thread end and insert into the wire and plug both, it will support the wire to plug connection.
You will have to protect the other wire from burning when you solder the broken one, then use a few different sizes of shrink fit wiring tubes to striffen the connection.
U will need the last one to be the same dia as the outside of plug itself.

Otherwise you will have to contact the company and hope they have a rep part, including a new transducer.
Prob cheaper to buy a new unit.

You can try b&e electronic, on manitou rd in Calgary, bring it the plug, and they might be able to match it up.....I have had good luck dealing with them..the also have good prices for ffinders, and cameras..
