Sorry Andy - late reply
This creaks in some 33-2 models because the aft bulkhead is not tabbed to the
deck but sits in a groove in the headliner. Grab the handhold on the hanging
locker and push and pull and you’ll replicate the creak.
I fixed this last winter by cutting out the liner inside
Gary,
You don’t say what brand you have but does the paddlewheel have straight or
curved paddles on it?
If they are curved you may have put the paddlewheel back on the transducer
backwards.

I have a ST 60 knot meter. The unit started reading intermittently and then not
at all even though the wheel spun freely and had no marine growth. I replaced
the paddle wheel and the speed registered. The old paddle wheel had 5-6 years
of annual bottom paint application. I have not gone back to
I've always suspected what Gary is saying. Look at this site:

If you look close and use your imagination, you can see what Gary is
talking about. There is no extra border around the transducer. Th
Nope, our transponder housings are just plastic tubes – the transponder itself
has a couple of “O” rings to seal it. My instruments came with a plug which
looks just like the transponder without wires and paddlewheel, which goes in
when the transponder is out (lately, that is all the time becaus
I have a Raymarine st60 paddle wheel. It is sensitive to how i insert it
paddle wheel unit into the tube and i believe that is because the tobe has
a little shutter which is supposed to slow water entering the boat when i
remove the paddle wheel. Just a little adjustment up or down and it can go

My experience with the Nexus paddlewheel is that the transducer bushing
develops a bit of shmutz around the bottom perimeter which interferes with
the paddlewheel when pushed in. It spins free when removed but binds when
installed. You may need to clean the bottom of the bushing.

Bill,
I have not used 795 but someone here on the list found Pecora 895
which is supposed to be a very similar product.
I did a window job over 10 years ago and used Sika 295 UV with the Sika
Primer.windows without frames or screws/bolts are still in tack and
water tight.

Wish I could get mine out ! Really don’t want to force it and have an issue
should I break something while in the water so it will have to wait to I haul
out. So I don’t have to sail around with a plug in my boat :( I know (saw) the
yard painted right over it when they did the bottom paint so
I have also been having issues with my speed transducer. I pulled the pin,
cleaned the wheel, made sure the pin was straight, and I could flick it by hand
and it would measure OK. Put it in the water, no good. Bought a new wheel, went
through the same deal, got the same result. I cannot figure o
Has anyone use an alternative to 795 for the plexiglass seal?

Thanks Dennis. That certainly looks like it would work in the “Classic” thru
hull. Did not think Garmin was “supporting” any of the Nexus equipment via
replacement parts any more. Seem to recall Nexus stopped using the 43 mm (?)
and started using a larger size (78 mm??) a decade or so ago.
Hodges Marine has the Garmin GST 43 mm transducer for $122. The number on my
spare is 010-04283-00.
If you replace it, be sure and add stress relief to the cable where it exits
the transducer. Slide a couple 2” pieces of heat shrink down the cable, shrink
them then pour epoxy in the top of the
I apply a bit of Vaseline to the speed wheel to discourage growth when/if I
forget to pull it.
As said, pulling is the best solution.

Brian,
First, replacements are readily available. Look for the 43 mm transducer. If
you can’t find one, contact me and I’ll find you one.
Second, I leave mine out unless I’m sailing.
Third, I spray mine with Corrosion Block. Probably doesn’t stay on long but it
makes me feel like I did somet
This year the boat speed paddlewheel on my Nexus Classic system seems to be
binding. I get 0 boat speed when motoring at 3-4 kts and it finally starts
to read when the boat accelerates to 5-6 kts, but it shows the boat speed ~
4 kts. I pulled the paddlewheel and left it sitting in a cup of fresh
Agreed with Andrew and Josh, none of those jobs are worth paying shop rates
for, and would add that it may also be worthwhile to verify that the main
engine ground stud and its terminals are free from corrosion, protected, and
tight. This caused an intermittent tach on windstar, among other thin
