instrument

I need to replace the plastic instrument cover for my original Signet Digital Knot Meter. It measures 5.5" in diameter. I know I can buy the 5" covers from Defender, eBay, etc, but I'm looking for one 1/2" larger. Does anyone know of a supplier of these? Or a coffee brand that has a fitting...

The 20 year old Datamarine depth and speed instruments functioned well enough for me to bring my boat home, after the PO replaced the paddlewheel and transducer for the speed, but they are both getting very tempermental now. I have spent more time than I want to making sure that they had good...

I decided last month on replacement of the Datamarine instruments on LAYLAH. Planning to eventually (3-4 years) go cruising and selected the B&G Hydra 3000 package with accessory sensor inputs, sea temp, air temp. and barometric pressure along with the basic inputs of boat speed, sounder and...

Hey all, Today I was lurking around the moyer marine site to get some info on my E29 A4--and I ran across a post about a company that specializes in custom panels--and was so impressed that I wanted to share it! Let me add that I have absolutely no commercial interest in this company--but the...

Before I tear out the old stock COMBI Depth and Speed Gauge from my cockpit (I hate having anything aboard that doesn't work) I thought I would ask the group if they know of anyone that might repair the unit--or whether it is a total lost cause. I plan on ordering a new Garmin GPSMAP unit and...

I have a panel of three engine gauges on my E29. The water temp gauge is shot and a new wire to the sending unit did not fix the problem. I tried to remove the single gauge as they are pretty inexpensive and simple to replace. But low and behold, I cant get the old one off, even after removing...

E23-2 1975 just foward of the mast post in the cabin between the post and the foward berth housing there is a small square panel. Pull it up and you have a large plug with stopper in it. When you pull the plug it looks like the whole lake is flooding in!!!?? what the heck is this plug for,,,is...

I had all my in-mast wiring replaced this spring, and subsequently my Datamarine wind speed and direction instrument does not work. The yard claims that my masthead transducer is at fault. Before I decide whether to overhaul my old transducer or purchase a new one, I would like to borrow someone...

Hi all, I have a Navman Wind 3100 for the past 3 years, and generally I am happy with it. Lately though I suspect the measurements are kind of low - I see white caps all around but the thing only shows 17 kts of wind... So, two questions for the knowlegeable people: 1) Although a manual...

Last year my Nexus anemometer (Classic 2000 series) developed some stickiness in the azimuth rotation axis. I made a modest attempt to disassemble and clean the unit but quickly retreated when it seemed like I risked destroying the unit. After a little googling, I found that service and...

After replacing the masthead unit and al associated cabling, I discover that the basic display / control unit has gone south. I really, really need a Standard Horizon WS45 display PLEASE. Howard Keiper Sea Quest Berkeley

Help....I am trying to locate and buy a Standard Horizon WS45 wind direction / speed instrument. Just the instrument...I have everything else, and that's the problem. Many thanks, Howard Keiper Sea Quest E-35 II Berkeley

After much searching and little luck I decided to create my own engine instrument panel box. So here is how to create a custom engine instrument panel box with some 1/8 inch fiberglass sheet, fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin. Oh and of course duck tape. Sorry I didn’t take photos of each step…...

The Datamarine Wind instrument on my 1985 E35-3 has given out and I'm considering replacing it with a Raymarine that can talk to my wheel pilot for steering to wind angle. I talked to a rigger who said it's usually possible to run the mast cable with the mast up as long as the cable is not tied...

Someone on this site recently mentioned this fine old line of sailing instruments. I note that their web site still lists their traditional line of wind, speed, and depth round meters, along with accessories. Link: http://www.srinstruments.com/Mariner/default.asp However, at the bottom...

I'm shopping for wind instruments, and I'm leaning toward Raymarine since I think I'll end up with their radar and chartplotter. Some of their instruments come with "short arm" transducers, and some with "long arm" transducers. What are the benefits of one versus the other? What do I want...

I've located an irritating leak. My instrument panel is mounted in a recessed compartment just below and aft of the port cockpit locker door. While I originally though that the caulking behind the flange of the compartment might be shot, I discovered that water was actualy following the top...

Hello all, I have an International Marine Instrument as shown below. Does anyone have info on this? Currently mine is not working and Im wondering whether or not its worth repairing? Taz

I have a Datamarine Corinthian (analog) wind speed/direction instrument that is giving me trouble. I'm hoping someone here has seen the same symptoms and can provide some guidance. The wind speed is fine but the needle indicating wind direction oscillates constantly (even in a calm) back and...

Hi All. We recently purchased and Ericson 35 MkIII, and want to upgrade the instruments. It has a Yacht Specialties Pedistal Guard (12.5" center-pipe distance) Any recommendations on an Instrumentation panel that will fit? The NavPod people say they don't have one. Thanx in Advance...

I have a Swoffer knot meter (I never heard of them either till I bought the boat!) and a Signet depth finder. They both use a 5", almost flat instrument cover. Anyone have any idea where to find them?

Hi, all, one more newbie question... As one of my previous posts states, we are trying to install Navman 3100 Multi on our new old boat. Problem is - transducer cables are too short. Extensions from Navman are somehow hard to get; most probably, if one needs them, the nearest palce is New...

Hi, all, I am really new in a boat owning business :). Stowe instruments that I have got together with the boat are quite old and seem to be not quite trustworthy... So, I want to replace them with some newer ones. Could the esteemed society be so kind and give me a clue in regards of the...

What are the three red lights for on the instrument panel next to the ignition key on an E27?
