have the original early 70s B gauges, plus a set of B H1000 stuff to be
installed. I will try to piece it together this week and come up with a

I got rid of my old B gear yhat came with my boat becsuse it was a PITA
to keep working. Not reliable at all and the touch switches repeatedly
failed. No easy way to get that gear working and i tried hard. I replaced
theB gear with Raymarine electronics and pray because Raymarine also has

When we purchased Persistence in 2014 it had a complete set of B
Speed/Wind/Depth. All were working but the displays were becoming dim and old
and hard to read from any angle other than straight on. I replaced all three

If you're lucky with it being there then just
build up the broken paddle with epoxy putty to
the same general profile as the other blades.

The 35-2 has an original (I think) B knot meter, but the paddle wheel has
one paddle broken off from a lifting strap. Apparently this old sender is
no longer available. Is it worth getting a replacement knot meter to get
speed over water? The boat also comes with a B H1000 windex and several
