[C320-list] knot meter

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

Jim,

Although this list is a great resource for all things 320, my suggestion is that you take your owner's manual and perhaps the dealer as well and go from stern to anchor roller and do a thorough inspection of your boat. Find out where all thru-hulls are located, get an idea of how the mechanical equipment operates, etc.

Not knowing where something as basic as to the location of thru-hull for your speed transducer or how it works,  let's me know you haven't taken the appropriate amount of time to get to know your boat.

If you're in cold weather area and will be 'winterizing' your boat, that would be an excellent time to 'bond' with it.

Boats are a big investment and if you're out on the water and the shit hits the fan, it will be hard to access the list for the info you'll be looking for

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.
