speed temp transducer
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2016 1:00 pm
Speed has been intermittent for quite some time. Pull the xducer and clean paddle wheel but no joy. Sort of starts working whenever. Last trip is did not work at all over 150 miles. Just happened to check temp the other day and it is out too.
Just wondering if xducers fail very often? It is a sealed unit and intuitively looks like it should last forever, what's to break other than the paddle wheel which is spinning along just fine. I realize this is naive but just sayin, the unit is about 4 years old.
I am confident the wiring is good.
Depth is fine at instruments so I am confident instruments are good
Should I just buy a new xducer or are there tests I should run?
