Re: Stus-List Broken paddle wheel on speed transducer
FWIW, I would strongly suggest skippers remove the speedo paddlewheel after sailing and plug the hole with the manufacturer's plug. I race and I do it after every race, so I've gotten good at it. That way the paddlewheel will stay clean and accurate. I put the speedo in before going sailing and I switch the plug back in after sailing and we're back at the dock. I use my boat on weekends, so this policy keeps the speedo clean and protected and if I miss a weekend, the speedo remains clean and safe. I lube the O-rings with dielectric grease each spring and the parts go in and out very easily. I keep the plugs and a small tube of grease in a small plastic tub that sits in the bilge where it is usually dry, and it floats if the water collects in there. If you haven't done it, it's a good skill to learn and once you become proficient, and have the speedo or plug ready to go in, only a cup of water will come into the bilge. It's also a good thing to practice a few times on land long before you launch and when I bottom paint the hull, I include doing the plug.

If it is just the paddle wheel you can buy a replacement kit for about $20 at any Raymarine dealer Original message From: Elizabeth McDonald via CnC-List Date: 2019-03-12 10:41 (GMT-08:00) To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Elizabeth McDonald Subject: Stus-List Broken paddle wheel on speed transducer During haulout, the paddle wheel was broken, part of the St60+ unit.

Re: Stus-List Mast Wire Question
I've got the grounding cable as well, but it only goes from the metal "shoe" that holds the mast butt to the keel bolt. Nothing up the mast.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL On Monday, March 11, 2019, 12:42:37 PM CDT, Randy Stafford via CnC-List wrote: Given heavy-gauge single-conductor, I’d guess grounding cable for lightning protection. I wonder what the PO did with the 20 feet of cable at the base. Grenadine has a short AWG 0 gauge battery cable bolted to the mast box on one end and a keel bolt on the other end. No such long cable in the mast. Cheers,Randy StaffordS/V GrenadineC&C 30-1 #7Ken Caryl, CO ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

Re: Stus-List Broken paddle wheel on speed transducer
You might want to look closely at your housing, the same thing happened to me fall 2017, and we determined the sling pressed up on the wheel, cracking the top of the housing where the 1/4" Pin pokes through, holding the transducer in the housing. There was nothing to keep the transducer from being forced up into the hull with water pressure. And this DIDN'T even break the paddlewheel! On another note, altho we did jury rig it with a sheet metal screw through another part of the housing to make it home, the speed was registering around 170 - 190 MPH - So, in other words, it was completely shot. Your results may vary.

Re: Stus-List Broken paddle wheel on speed transducer
https://www.marine.com/store/m/293-Airmar.html You can replace just the paddle wheel if that is all that was broken. Otherwise you will have to replace the transducer if the prongs that hold the paddle wheels are broken.
