Re: Transducer
Transducer
A transducer is a device that converts one form of energy to another. Usually a transducer converts a signal in one form of energy to a signal in another. Transducers are often employed at the boundaries of automation, measurement, and control systems, where electrical signals are converted to and from other physical quantities (energy, force, torque, light, motion, position, etc.).
How do you fix a broken transducer cable?
Re: Transducer cable repair Strip the casing back a little from each cut end. Solder and shrink tube the three wires, use existing shielding, shrink tube the cable, and it is done correctly. If you just use butt connectors on the three wires, it may or may not pick up interferance.
Can You splice a transducer cable?
I successfully spliced a transducer cable once. 35 years of Ham Radio should be worth something The cable was made like coax. It had a center conductor wire surrounded by insulation with a braid over the top of that, followed by the outside insulation.
How do you fix a broken 3 wire power cord?
Solder and shrink tube the three wires, use existing shielding, shrink tube the cable, and it is done correctly. If you just use butt connectors on the three wires, it may or may not pick up interferance. If there are no other wires near the repair, it will have a better chance of working.
How to attach a wide eye transducer to the head unit?
I am fairly certain the wide eye transducer had a layer of foil shielding, that went around all three wires. It will be tied to the ground wire at the plug, just before it enters the head unit. Wrap the shielding around as best you can and make sure the two overlap and connect.
Can a transducer cable be spliced?
you should be good to go. Solder the splice using electronics flux solder, using shrink sleeve each wire and then over the entire bundle. Try the alumiminum foil, but cover the whole splice in shrink wrap. I have a fish finder with a sliced transducer cable.
Can a Garmin transducer cable be spliced?
It came with an Airmar P66 x-ducer, but I already had a P79 in the hull from my old Lowrance. So, I cut off the Plug on the P66 and soldered the cable from the P79. I get a "sonar turned off" message on the machine. Garmin tech says you absolutely cannot cut/splice a transducer cable.
Can you cut and splice transducer wire?
The transducer manufacturers will not honor your waranty if you cut the cable. If you do cut it follow what the previous post said, solder and heat shrink to keep the water and moisture out.
Can I cut my transducer cable?
"Don't trim the fishfinder's transducer cable to fit your boat. If it's too long, coil it. Cutting the cable will interfere with the accuracy of the fishfinder's signal. Some manufacturers supply cable if you need a longer cable (check with our Product Information Department at 800-568-0319)."

Certain installations will require the use of a transducer extension cable. It is best practice to use the fewest number of extension cables to extend the transducer cable to a sounder.
Can you splice an airmar transducer cable?
Because the depth-transducer cable has been cut, you will need to splice it back together (see Figure 9).

I allowed the transducer cable on my Lowrance depth finder to get caught in the trolling motor bracket. Dumb! It cut through the outer cover and through most of the cable.

The wire consists of an insulated inner wire and an outer sheath/braided wire. Cut the wire in half at the damaged area. Strip back an inch or so of the outer cable. Pull the braided sheath wire back. strip the insulation off both ends of the inner wire. Slide on a piece of heat shrink tubing before connecting the wire together.
