Two questions for the community: First, how do I fix this? the head unit is fine and I don't want to shell out for a new one. Replace the transducer or solder on a new plug?
Second, anybody had this before and what do you do to protect this weak link in the electronics chain?

Had a similar problem on my Mark 4, the brass poles are still good but the rubber plug has broken down....I big chunk of the rubber just fell away.
