Ideas to reseat transducers once boat is already in water

Hey folks,

We seem to be taking in a bit of water through one of out through hulls and was looking for options to remove and reseat without taking boat out of water.

I was thinking I could get a toilet plunger of sorts to create a vacuum.....

Also, I have Nexus Silva instruments and experienced blowing fuses this year. The one thing that changed was that I tried to use a four prong outlet/ trailer hitch connector from west marine to make the mast connection easier.

I removed it and things seem to be working....for one day. I'm hesitant to dismiss the problem since all worked well 2 days prior. However I was thinking that the plug may have been faulty and if I get several days of performance without blowing fuse I would expect that to be problem. Otherwise I probably have a short somewhere in mast. Anyone know of an issue using this connector and perhaps it isn't made for that sort of use?

Any suggestions?
