[C320-list] Depth Sensor

[McCullough, Kirk]

I haven't looked too closely but it looks like the depth sensor is
epoxied in place. Not sure how it can be removed.

Does anyone know where I can order a new sensor?

Pat, the speedo is easily replaced with the boat in the water like you
described.  However, Kirk is talking about his depth sounder.  That
transducer doesn't replace easily unless you haul the boat (and even
then, it's not too easy because you need to pull the wire through the
hole too).
