Hello.
I have ff as in title. it was grand last time i used it (6mths ago?) and since i changed transducer bracket (this could cause a damage to cable - gland and transducer wasn't sufficient for stiffness of the cable - i could see little crack from day 1 - i made small loop and ziptied it to bracket - it was grand for nearly 2 years yesterday was the first day i actually touched it since i bought it) At the moment it shows temp ok, but no bottom nor proper depth (readings jumps 100-1200 feet at random). could this be a cable at transducer? can it be mended? any ideas welcome.
edit:
I carefully removed isolation from last few inches of cable at transducer end then I took my dremel and played dentist
i dug quite deep into transducer and what i found: 2 cables snapped - bare wire (ground? my guess - it looks slightly corroded snapped flush with transducer surface) and orange (no idea unless suppose to be soldered to metal inside - pulled it without any problem from transducer - no sign of solder/damage end stripped did not find other end in proximity.
Question remains how can i check is my head unit ok? I finally got all (but orange) cables connected (just for fun rather than mend) but unit doesn't see a thing. Screen remains white - can't feel vibrations (use to hear it) i can understand than orange was lets say signal from xxxkhz head but i go no display on any of the screens.
How can i make sure that buying new transducer will sort me out? don't know single person with similar unit.
