[C320-list] Flakey Depth Gauge Autohelm ST50

[Joe Abbagnaro]

Hi
I have an ST50 Autohelm depth gauge that occasional will stop displaying.
Sometimes the Display gets very dim other times it will power off.
If I knock on the gauge several times it will come back to life.
Sometimes I have to do this quite frequently. Sometimes the gauge will
Run flawlessly. Seems in low water when I am most dependent it likes to act up.

I do not think it's a transducer I think it might be a problem with
the display since wrapping the face  it causes it to reset. I checked
all the connections and they look good. It is getting its power from
my Knot Gauge via the Seatalk cable.

Anyone have any suggestions. Can I get a new ST50 display?
Will the older Transducer work with new Head Display.
What other options do I have….. Any Good Wireless Depth Gauges ?

Thank You
Joe
