Yes, but for a cheaper transducer, it isn't worth the time and effort.
What transducer?
Is the damage below the waterline?
You can have endless problems if there is water inside the cable itself as it pretty much deadens the signal.

Airmar Sell
Airmar sell a waterproof box for joining their cables, or you can get one from Whitfords etc. I had to cut and join mine as the new connector would not fit through existing holes. The warrantee info stated that it would only still be covered if join was contained within a waterproof junction box.
Best of Luck mine seems to work fine after the surgery.

As you say it is a long way from the water, you can use the airmax box ^^. It is a bit more tricky if the cut is below the waterline.

I cut and joined my P66 to get it thru the transom just using solder and good quality heat shrink. Seems to still work better than my Lowrance!
