My knotmeter has not worked in the 3 years I've owned the boat. Is there a recommended replacement? I have the SR Mariner KL unit. Probably the transducer is shot. I took it out last year and cleared the barnacles, but when I gave it a spin I got no response from the meter. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

You can call SR Mariner at 1-800-654-6360 EXT 109 and speak to Correy. He is the service manager for this Knot Meter. I replaced the transducer about two years ago and SR mariner was supporting these units as long as they had spare parts.

Thanks! I'll give them a call Tuesday.

SR Instruments no longer sell their product, but Corey says he still will repair existing units for now. He is a very helpful fellow.

I just pulled the SR Knot Meter out of my H27. I replaced it with a GPS.

I have a GPS and use it all the time, but I sail and race in the James and Pagan rivers, where there are significant currents. It would be handy to have speed through the water so I could search out favorable currents.

I did look at the Raymarine ST 40 one of the guys @ the repair yard said it would fit the same through hull opening as the SR Mariner...

Thanks Jimboyyy. If I can't get this thing fixed I'll probably go that route. I'll have to put it on my Christmas List. I bet the Admiral will go for that.
