[C320-list] knot meter

[Robert E. Sloat]

Orlando-Mega dittos.  I can't imagine going out in a boat you own and not 
knowing the basics you refer to.  My 2002 320 was purchased new and I spent 
much time pouring over the owner's manual and every other manual that came 
with the boat before it touched water.  The first thing I did was walk 
around the boat on the tarmac and inside to know how many and where all the 
through hulls were.

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.
