[C320-list] replacing the speed transducer

[Dean Vermeire]

Hi All,

We have the ST60 instrument set, and I need to replace the speed 
transducer.  I have already purchased a replacement.

The replacement, as does the original, has the cable molded into the 
transducer unit.  This leaves me with two choices:
1.  Cut the cable on the original and the replacement and splice the 
wires, so that I don't have to feed the new cable all the way back to 
the pod.
2.  Run the new cable to the pod.

If I run the new cable to the pod, I can either clip the terminals off 
the end of the new one, cut the old cable, and use the old cable to pull 
the new one through the corrugated tube, or run the cable outside of the 
corrugated tube.

Running the new cable all the way back inside the corrugated tube would 
be ideal, but could be a lot of work.  On the other hand, I am pretty 
good at connecting wires, and I could put heat shrink around the connection.

Have any of you replaced the speed transducer?  If so, how did you do 
the wiring?

Thanks,
Dean Vermeire
