Brad, just unscrew the ring and pull the speedo out -- you won't sink. One there is some sort of anti-leak built
in that stops most of the water and, two -- there should be a plug in that little compartment. It goes in
just like the speedo.
I use an old tooth brush to clean mine off. Really it is no big deal.

Subject: [C320-list] Knot meter cleaning.... In water?
Hello everyone,
Well the Chesapeake has already claimed it first victim on my boat. The paddle wheel for the knot meter stopped turning. I was thinking I could dive on the boat in shallow water (would have to buy a mask, etc)
OR possibly pulling the knot meter while its in the water.... (of course plugging the hole for a bit.
Any thoughts on this, besides "be careful not to sink" ?
If its possible and does the water just drain to the bilge?
Thanks for any guidance.....
