[C320-list] Knot meter

[Jeffrey Brown]

Unless you take her out frequently they are notorious to getting jammed up with gunk. Your diver should give it a good cleaning once per month. Or pull it out from top, insert the plug and soak it in vinegar for a day and clean it. They always are a problem. I've seen stuff you can spray on it but never tried it. Sometimes I've found that just reversing for a minute can get it spinning again. We do this and works half the time.

I thought the yard guys bent the little paddle wheel with the sling, but I just hauled it again and there isn't a little paddle wheel. There's just this little round lens in the middle of the through hull, flush with it. Same for the depth sounder, which seems to work fine.
