i see it has a very short cord, what do i use to splice under water?

I'm not sure these are actually rated for underwater or how to create a true waterproof connection. In my experience the manufacturing on these is not perfect. I had one recently fill with water just sitting in the garden for landscape lighting. The most it would have been exposed to was the sprinklers and a bit of rain. Otherwise, in my case, they mostly work well as landscape uplights.

Hello,sir, the underwater light is not really for using under water directly. they are just named for that. but it is really used for fountain. however, you need to prepare a 23V power supply. and then extend the cord and connect it to the power supply. Then use a transparent or glass cover to protect it from water. so that it can have a long lifetime underwater. you can refer to the fountain lights in squares or parks.

Just buy some heavy duty braided rope...like para cord, 50 or 100 ft. for just a few dollars, much better than a cheap plastic rope.Hope tis helps

When I purchased this item Feb. 2013 it included a waterproof splice kit. It had metal wire connectors that you crimp and a sleeve that, when heated, shrinks to waterproof the connection.

Check cable length; I used mine for a homebrew underwater robot and ended up doing an "extension".

I'm afraid I didn't use it in a water environment, so I don't know. You might place the sensor in an airtight sealable sandwich bag, then tape up the spot where the cord exits.

Length of the wires are about 3ft. Not very long. You may have to splice depending upon the distance of the "sweet spot" location.

Generally it would be a bad idea to submerge any cord connection-even if it was rated at IPX7 (1M submerged) or IPX8 (>1M). If the stock cord from the pump is not long enough you are better off having an electrician or someone knowledgeable replace the cord with a longer one. You are much safer with one continuous cord underwater than with any kind of plug/receptacle. This one is definitely NOT meant to be submerged, as the other commenter says it is rated IPX5 which means it can only withstand spraying water on it (i.e. rain falling on it, with no standing water).

You keep it in the water so it is just 1mm below the bottom of the boat hull. You can also use an adhesive and go through hull with the transducer in the middle of your boat bottom. Very versatile

Not under water, I use extension cord to move it around the sides of a 18x36 pool as it does not clean all of it...

It works fine above water, but the second it goes under it cuts out. So no underwater action, which is what I wanted.

It is very short,what i do is make a knot with the existing cord that comes with the black and decker blower and my extension cord and you are in business, it does the job a little noisy it cutsw o the work in half

If you're talking about the antenna on the boat, it's a thin tube about 6-8 inches long. Basically a thin straw. Nothing special, just weave the wire thru it - it serves to keep the antenna wire up so that it has more range. If talking about the antenna on the controller, I think it's a standard telescoping antenna, try Radio Shack I'm guessing

Yes. I have done it two ways. In one case I purchased a 50 or 60 foot extention cord from Defender. However, I also found that I had some very short runs and some very long runs. I shortened the cord for the short run by removing a section of the cord and splicing the remaining cord together. I then used the extra cord from the one I shortened and spliced it into the cord I needed to be longer. The wires in the cords are very fine so the splicing is a delicated job but it is very do-able.

It's very short and there's no battery - I used this to connect an iPod jukebox that had external speaker jacks as wire clamp connections to the input of a receiver- the cord was so short it wasn't practical -

That depends. If it's on the end of the run buy some more low voltage wire from any big box hardware store & splice it. They sell it by the foot at the wire cutting station. I never use anything more then tape. If it's in the middle of the run I'd still buy whatever you need & use a razorblade or something to cut into the loop & splice it. If it's close to the transformer you can put two lengths in parallel at the connectors.

No such extension available. Probably can splice it to that length, having the right type of cable.

Mmmmm...never thought of that. My husband has a GoPro and got a different extension that telescopes but did not use it under water. Sorry I could not be more of a help
