It could be a bad connection in the plug at the back of the unit? What type of connecter is it?

Hi mate it's one with the power cable and transducer cable in the same plug(think its 16 pin) the bottom of the transducer cable was stiff so I cut the outer cable and it was full of salt,but I don't no if it has knackered the head unit or not
