The cable itself is typically sealed on the transducer end and not a replaceable item, so it's either splice back together or replace the transducer (with cable) itself.
Problem is, the Garmin 90 you have (labeled Fishfinder 95 for Bennington) used a 6-pin connector from what I can tell here:
The current dual-beam transducer that Garmin manufactures is either a 4 or 8-pin connector:

You could try finding adapters so you can continue to use your old 6-pin depth finder with a new transducer:

But being the cheapo that I am I'd try splicing first.
Good luck!

Thank you for the suggestions. The "rats" chewed the cable right at the entry to the transducer, so there is no room for splicing.The cable itself is typically sealed on the transducer end and not a replaceable item, so it's either splice back together or replace the transducer (with cable) itself.

I am holding out to see if anyone has one sitting around...
(I am more "cheapo" than you are) (laughing).
Thank you for the information, Jack. I am researching all sources.

The Garmin 95 on my last boat gave up the ghost and it was a chore finding a replacement. I also wasn't interested in upgrading because it would have required hacking into the dash. It took me a while but I found a good used Garmin 90 on Facebook Marketplace. Maybe you can find a transducer cable there. If you come across a head unit with the transducer cable, buy it. You can turn around and sell the head unit if you don't want to keep it for a spare. They are in demand.

What a pain.
Not sure what your search will produce but if you end up trying to Macgyver something maybe the below chart can help. Seems like any transducer will have a series of color coded wires you might be able to splice into the existing i put cable.
This is from the Garmin manual for a splicing block used to convert a 6-wire setup to an 8-wire fishfinder.
