[C320-list] ST60 gauge problems

[Jerry Clayton]

My ST60 boat speed gauge reads - - -, also water temp reads - - - , now true wind reads - - -, although apparent reads correctly.
I though it might be a speed (paddle wheel) transducer (speed and temp problem), but not sure now that the wind gauge is acting up.  
Anyone had these experiences?  I am going to contact Raymarine tomorrow but thought I would ask the group also.
Pertinent info:
1)  First problem was boat speed reading 0.00 (paddle wheel was able to turn freely)  but water temp ok, after moving wire around by the thru hull paddle wheel it would work ok, thus making me thing it was a bad wire.
2)  Second problem was - - - reading on boat speed, temp and wind, again moving wire and rebooting solved problem for a 8 hour sail.
3) Third moving wire and rebooting is no longer working.
4)  All gauges and chartploter are Raymarine and SeaTalk linked.
5)  Check 5 wires  coming into Speed gauge.
6)  Also check all Sea Talk connections.
7)  Boat and gauges are  5 years old, and I do remove the paddle wheel after each sail to keep build up from forming on the paddle wheel again making me think this movement could have affect the wires.

I am going to check the readings with a multimeter as suggested by Raymarine to see if the paddle wheel is sending info.
Any thoughts on this?

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to give as much info as possible.
