I'm cleaning out the workshop and intend throwing these old sensors out unless someone wants them. They were used with Standard Horizon SL-1 and DS-1 displays. I have no idea if they're still functional as I never turned them on. The white depth transducer still has silicone bits stuck to...

David: thanks for the link to the standpipe project (by the way, I got completely distracted by the rudder rebuild project: I had no idea that foam could be that powerful...). My mast is stepped on a tabernacle with a foot (including a heel) at the mast bottom. This is common on the E25 CB, so...
