I have a Eagle cuda 168 depth finder that has been acting eradically and think I discovered the problem. After inspecting the cable I discovered it had been smashed by the trolling motor shaft and has a split in the cable. The wires seem to be in tact, but after wrapping it with black electrical tape and testing it on the water, I still get strange depth readings (fluctuates somtimes to over 600ft in 20ft of water). I was checking for a new transducer but they seem to be around $60 for this unit. I can purchase a new unit (same version) for around $80. Should I junk the unit and and buy something better for the money or invest in the transducer? Is there a way to cut the bad section out and rewire it or will this cause abnormal problems also? Thanks and hope someone can help answers some of these questions.
Junk or fixable?
