You may recall my ST50 wind transducer failed because of damaged prongs on the five-pin plug. I took it to a marine electronics shop who said it was unrepairable. We took it back and cut some wire off a resistor, tapered the ends, stuck them in the stubs of the broken prongs and put some solder on them. Well, today we put it back on the masthead and it works! Whew. The thought of updating everything or buying a non-OEM replacement transducer custom made wasn't a great alternative. Hope it keeps working. Rick D.

Don't Think So, Don...

..in another life I was an insurance exec, and, even worse, one of my areas was governmental affairs. So, based upon generally accepted wisdom, I was unclean. Of course, political affairs has taken on a whole other aspect within the last couple of days! Rick D
