[C320-list] knot meter

[Monte B.]

I think removal of the speed transducer kind of depends on fresh water or
salt. I very rarely remove mine and then just to knock off a little green
stuff and give the wheel a flick and I'm back in business. My boat is in
fresh water. The spacer is actually a plug that looks similar to the
transducer and on my boat is tied to the transducer wiring.

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.
