When I removed the original transducers two years ago to switch over to
Nexus, I discovered considerable degradation of the balsa core, which
required removal of the core material and one square foot of exterior
f'glas. This was an expensive job and it made me realize the risks of
sealant failure at the transducers. I'd suggest you haul out and tackle the
problem fully to avoid further damage.

Subject: 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?
