Howard,

For what it's worth....

I think the problem is with the knotmeter.  The transducer has a small
propeller or paddlewheel sticking out in the water stream.  As the boat
moves, it makes the paddlewheel or propeller turn, which sends the unit a
signal that tells you how fast you are going.

If you leave that transducer hanging out in the air, and then drive over
the road at 60 MPH, the poor transducer will be reving like crazy, hour
after hour.  .....and no water to lubricate the bearing.  

No wonder that they quit working!

My recommendation would be to retract them into their housing; or if this
is not possible, remove them prior to road transport (just remember to
put them back in place before launching the next time!)
