Dennis, a few years ago I did business with a guy, Achilles Youseff.......from Chicago Marine Electronics......he was their Nexus guru and had a wide selection of Nexus instruments and parts....some scavenged from non working units.....
See if he's still there.... Best Ron C.

Remove it and replace it with the plug if boat is going to sit for more than a few days. I did, however, add stress relief to the cable entering the transducer after the original transducer died after 2-3 years. Nexus tech told me the shield and wires were subject to breakage due to the Lack of stress relief there. Garmin now sells the descendent systems from Nexus/NX2. Nice instruments. Dennis C.

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.
