I have Nexus NX2 instruments (now owned by Garmin), and they are very reliable. No problem with five year old speed transducer.

I keep the dummy plug in the thruhull except when I need to use the speed instrument. Takes a couple minutes to swap out, but not a big deal. My old one was a 1986 Standard Horizon that was still working when I replaced all of my instruments a couple years ago. You can use a water based antifouling paint on it if you wish, but I don't bother.

The impellor was always getting gunked up and then died for good. The instrument died again. I got one instrument and two impellors from Fleabay. One impellor died quickly and the other one died just now L They were all new in box too. I am about ready to just look at the GPS and give up on this. Is there a modern speed sensor that actually lasts? I remember replacing a ton of them back in the day as an Autohelm dealer.
