Super User iceintheveins Posted September 5, 2009 Super User Posted September 5, 2009 I have about a 3/4" tear in the insulation of my transducer cord. I know large tears in the insulation can cause interference. The inner wire is barely exposed. Will this cause interference and do I have to buy a new ducer again? Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted September 5, 2009 Super User Posted September 5, 2009 You might repair it with liquid rubber or it can be spliced and sealed with shrink tubing. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted September 5, 2009 Super User Posted September 5, 2009 If by the inner wire you mean the braided ground shield wire which is wrapped around the inner conductor, no it won't cause interference. If that braided wire has been damaged it could cause an impedance problem which could give false readings. Otherwise, follow Jig mans advice. Quote

I repaired an electrical harness on a saltwater boat 5 years ago and sealed the repair with it. It works. Quote
