Most of the speed transducers come with a dummy plug to swap in to the thru-hull, to seal it when you take the speed transducer out for cleaning, storage, etc.

So I did, but I'm not holding my breath. Has anyone here came up with a "hardware-store" replacement? My transducer has a retainer ring that screw down on the sensor to hold it tight. The standard 2 o-rings keep it water tight. I'd like to make something up that was similar.
Better yet, if anyone has an old transducer that's broken, I'd be happy to take it off your hands.  |

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
