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?
I may have a spare transducer that I can give you. I'm upgrading my mark 4 to an elite 5 this week and if the transducer is the same, you can have mine.
