(Video) Inserting or cleaning the Speed Sensor

Here's a short video on the process for inserting the speed sensor...


For a long time, I was scared to do this and we just left the speed sensor in place.  But things like to grow on it and that reduces its ability to spin (and thereby measure speed through the water).  So we finally swallowed hard one day and pulled it, cleaned it off, and got it working.  Now we store it "pulled out" so that each time we have to put it in before using the boat.

Of course, the little copepods and other critters love to hang out in the hole where the sensor lives.  So the first thing that happens when pulling the plug is that you get showered with creepy crawlies.  Unfortunately for them, they don't live well outside of salt water.  ;)
