Hi all,

Got a couple issues with my ST50 gear on my boat.   First the speed sensor.  
This past weekend I was having some issues with speed sensor running slow.  
Seeing that it was working just fine when I put it back in the water a few weeks 
I figured that I would just pull it and see if it was fouled.  So I pulled the 
hatch board and unscrewed the sensor and pulled it from the hull and I was 
surprised by a 2 foot gusher coming up at my face.  Isn't there supposed to be a 
flap to slow the water.  If not how is the best way to keep the flooding to a 
minimum. 

Second my wind speed sensor seems to be sticking.  If the wind is light it 
doesn't spin.  Is there some user maintenance I can do.  If not will a ST60 
sensor connect to the mast head connector.  I already have to ST60 heads at the 
pedestal so calibration won't be an issue. 

Thanks
Jason
