[C320-list] knot meter

The units for speed and depth are located in the forward cabin under the sole. There is a door to access. On my boat the speedo is on the port side there should be a spacer in there as well. 

Simply unscrew the unit and pull it out then put the spacer in to stop the water from coming in. 

Inspect the wheem and clean it.  You should actually get into the habit of removing the wheel everytime you leave the boat for more than 2 days. 

Good luck 
Rick

PS some water will come in but there is a flap that limits it. Be sure to locate your spacer plug before hand the little arrows need to face towards the bow.

The knot meter has quit working on my boat. She's a 2000 C320, hull 691. I have the standard factory installed Nav Pod and everything else is working fine. The unit still works in all other functions, (timer, etc) and the knot speed lights up, but only reads 0.00. I imagine the problem is not in the electronics, but rather whatever contraption measures the water passing under the hull. Could someone tell me where it might be and how one would go about checking and cleaning it? Thanks.

Thanks.
