I removed my Datamarine speed transducer last spring. I spent probably 3 hours trying every non-destructive method I could think of before I had to move to destructive methods. Should have done so earlier since I didn't need to save it anyway (was replacing with an Airmar / Raymarine triducer).

The Americas Cup Challenge Excursion is still there. Did it a few years ago. If you know anything about racing and are paying attention, it’s more than a little disappointing. The skippers will purposely mis-steer, mis-trim and go to the song gate marks in order to ensure it’s a close finish.
