Hi Outback,
Unless water has actually got in there, it might be o.k.
I'd repair the area with maybe some glassfibre tape and resin.
If it's in an area where a "scuff cover" would actually cover the crack it might be an idea to get hold of one and use epoxy to hold it (permanantly) in place.
I had the same thing with a coil a while back (it got run over by a car - don't ask!).
Stuck a scuff cover on there, never had a problem with it!

Oh.....

Even so, if it wasn't seawater or saltwater, as long as it's dried out now things should be o.k!
If you are looking for a replacement coil (I take it that it's for your Garrett 250?) some guys over here use the Detech SEF coil.
By all accounts it's a fantastic coil, expensive, but cheaper than a new detector!
