[Jason Alexander]

Ok.  Well I guess it's a couple trips up the mast for me.   UGG  I
hate doing that.

I was given this solution to try from Ray Marine before I sent it in a couple of years ago and it did the trick...

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=
