speed transducer check

Mytilene,

Use a voltmeter (digital or analog) to read the voltage output from the transducer while under sail, or power (paddle-wheel spinning). If you see readings that vary within the range of ~1V to ~6V, the transducer is probably operating. The problem will then be in either the wire connecting the transducer to the display unit, or the the display unit itself.
