Have a Lowrance fish finder and broke the transducer off where it attaches to the transom bracket. Do I have to buy a new one and rewire the whole thing?

No, Loctite makes a 2 part epoxy kit for plastic that works good. Just follow the instructions and be patient. Got mine a Lowes and sure you can buy it other places. It comes in a blister pack and is in a Syringe type applicator. May be others that would work as well, just make sure it is for plastic. One I fixed has been used for 4/5 years with no problem.
I agree, Loctite!
One of the members on here advertised he was looking transducers with broken or cut wires, etc. He refurbishes them and resells. I think he also repairs for customers as well. I meant to bookmark his post in case I needed him but I didn't so someone will have to help out with his contact info. Of course if the Loctite works it is a moot point.
That is Rnvinc his post is in personal classified forum.
NO NO NO Rickie "rnvinc" on the KY board wants damaged cable ducers so he can experiment with them and also to improve his DA-DUCER device.
OK sorry I thought he also repaired them. On to the Locite. If that does not work might give this a shot. I plan to order one to try. Not a Glue – Bondic®

JB water weld putty works too....
I broke mine 2 years ago. I hit it with my knee while filling up at the gas station. I used some gorilla glue epoxy and then held it together with rubber bands for 48 hours. Haven't had an issue since.
