Just a heads up for anyone who has the original double cable design lvs32 transducer.
My lvs32 cable has finally cracked and from what I’ve researched online, it is a common issue with the original double wire transducer cable. My lvs32 cable was bought new in Nov. 2020 and is used strictly for the ice season. My system is out of its warranty period, I will contact Garmin to see what they say about this.
Yep, its a well known issue, there’s a huge market of 3D printer solutions to help alleviate it… Garmin used to replace them for free, but I think now they just offer a good discount on a new one…
Its rare to happen only from ice fishing though… Does yours have the smooth rubber bumper where the cable connects to the transducer head or the corrugated bumper? Garmin did the corrugated design as a quick fix before switching to the single cable…
Just a side note observation I came across today on FB about Garmin warranty.
LVS32 ducers are no longer being produced and they are now replacing warranties with LVS34.
Here is a picture of my transducer

What would you guys recommend for a quick fix for something like this?

liquid tape and then wrapped in electrical tape.
Thanks Joe! I’m waiting to hear back from Garmin on this matter but Will definitely give the liquid tape a try as a last resort.
Update* Garmin came through and replaced my damaged transducer with the updated single cable design LVS32. The Garmin livescope system comes standard with a 2yr warranty New, mine was just out of warranty.The replacement transducer I received is a certified refurbished transducer and couldn’t be happier how everything turned out.
