G'day crew,
Does anybody know where I can buy/obtain/find/beg/or get a hold of a MASTHEAD Unit for a Datamarine LX3600 SN 021775 wind speed and direction unit with plug to fit in place of my masthead unit which is gone. Not when, but possibly during a hurricane before I purchased her 'Merrimist'.
Of the four fitted instruments, only the depth is still functioning, but not the Day/Night /Off toggle switch - no difference seen when switching.
Factory fitted (I am suggesting) Instruments that are unserviceable:
1. LX3600 as noted above, fingers crossed, fitting the masthead unit that is missing so that the gauge has an input may have it working, help in finding the masthead unit is requested. Maybe someone here has upgraded their instruments and kept an old functioning one that they are willing to part with. If not, does anyone know where I can purchase either original or suitable aftermarket with same plug that would fit?
2. A Datamarine Model S100KL SN. 048079.I have checked that the paddle wheel for the log is clear and free to rotate, but no reading on factory fitted gauge.
3. Course Deviation / Distance Indicator Model CDX SN.011216 not working.
FYI - there was a Loran 'C' unit fitted to Merrimist when I become the happy new owner, (anybody remember using this system), I have since removed the aerial and base keyboard unit - forwarded to a museum, well, I was thinking about giving to a museum, gave it to an old electronics tech who was happy to fiddle with it.
I am not sure if this Loran 'C' was somehow connected to the Datamarine Log Course Deviation / Distance Indicator noted at 3. above.
If it was, I am guessing that I could remove the Course Deviation / Distance Indicator Model CDX SN.011216. Can anybody forward information on this query. Would be much appreciated.
Finally, for this rambling post, if anybody has upgraded or replaced the factory fitted Datamarine instruments - would like to hear from you. Have you fitted Like for like, or remove and trash old and fit new - how much time and or money was involved. I would like to do this myself, i.e. get my original fitted currently unserviceable instruments working or replace with new. Again, comments on your experience is welcomed.
