I'd appreciate some advice regarding a non-functioning depth sounder. Near the end of the season my depth sounder started reading 0 no matter the condition. I couldn't find any obvious explanation for the problem - but I'm thinking that the Autohelm depth and speedo are original to the 1986 boat - so likely better to suck it up and replace than to jury rig a repair or sink money into a new transducer. Should I just replace the broken depth and worry about the speedo
at at another time? Anyone think it's better to do a whole
package? I have a Raymarine wheel pilot (waiting for me to install) - so I
assume the smart move would be to stick with the same product
line. Such as - Raymarine i40 Depth System with Thru-Hull
Transducer E70142. With the Binnacle a new depth sounder $340,
and a new speedo ($350) combined for almost $700 - would I be
better to add a whole package with wind instruments? Raymarine i70s Instrument Value Pack Speed Depth Wind T70226 - https://tinyurl.com/y9zumft6 - $1600 cdn at Binnacle (I wouldn't mind if I could get water temp as well but don't know if that's an option with Raymarine). Another option - someone on this list suggested SailTimer as a better option for wind instruments. Thanks in advance Mark
