Last Sunday I won the auction for an NOS SR Mariner Wind Speed instrument complete with the masthead unit and cable for $166 CAD including shipping from California to Halifax. The masthead unit alone from SR Mariner is worth $210 US and the cable is another $70. If anyone has any old SR Mariner stuff kicking around from previous upgrades I would be interested to take them off your hands for a nominal price plus shipping. PM me.

My knotmeter, and old Standard-Horizon SL1 for the 80s, died some time ago. The paddlewheel went first and the display was pretty bad too. I have been searching for YEARS for a replacement and never found one. I managed to find TWO on FleaBay brand new with transducers and got both of them :) I guess I could have got a newer replacement, but then the thru-hull would be the wrong size and need replacing and the new ones are a different form factor and don't fit the old hole. I am not sure I will mess with it, but the displays can be wired to each other and both display boat speed. My depthfinder is likewise an ancient Standard-Horizon and is slowly dying. It works fine as far as figuring out how deep it is, but the LCD display is losing contrast bit by bit. I can only read it by wearing polarized glasses and turning my head to just the right angle. I managed to get a S-H DS41 on FleaBay never been used. This fits a standard 2 inch hole and as a bonus can send NMEA depth out or be configured to repeat NMEA depth in sentences. So far my plan is run the data to the laptop so I can see actual water depth on my charts below. I have been getting a bunch of LED bulbs over the past year too and my hit rate on good ones has been about 75%. Considering how cheap they are there is little risk to taking a chance. I have one someplace that makes a hash of the SSB I have to track down and replace.
