Hi, does any one know how to repair the contacts on a fish finder cable ?. On the cable where it plugs onto your fish finder I have one pin that has corroded away. Is there any way to repair it, I have a Lawrence fish finder.

Your best bet would be to go to Lowrance direct, they are very helpfull here in Durban.

Hi, thank you but I tried that. They are very helpful, but suggested that I buy a new transducer cable....R800 or so. A entry level fishfinder will cost me around R900 new....but I like my Lawrence.
Also, I fish of a kayak and my transducer is glued to the inside of the hull....I don't want to rp it out.

I had one of the pins broken off at the back of the fishfinder unit. Took it into Lowrence here in Durban, told me it was unrepairable and I would need to purchase a new Unit.
A contact in a computer repair shop suggested I take it to "Clives TV Repairs" here in Hillcrest (Heritige Market, Old Main Road) Durban. Guy looked at it, wasnt too sure, but said he would try, but they were very busy at the time and I should leave it with them. Phoned me 2 weeks later and said the pin had been replaced. Cost me R60. Guy there said it was a very simple task to replace it. There number is 031 - 7652986
