[C320-list] Speed/Depth Transducers

[ART HARDEN]

I had an issue with Tortuga two years ago where both transducers were leaking. I had a tri-data system still in the box from years ago. When the boat was on the hard and just before last year’s launch I replaced both units. Last year the bilge was dry.

The transducer for the i50 speed sensor dropped into the housing for the old Autohelm speed sensor with no modifications needed. However, I might replace the old Autohelm speed sensor housing with the i50 housing on my next haul-out, because I'm told that the new housing lets in much less water when you pull the sensor between sails.
