I have 3 sr mariner guages... Wind speed... Wind direction... And knot log. Until today nine of them worked for me. Today I got the knot log working. Was a simple remove the transmitter and clean all the junk out of the paddles. Works like a charm. But the ws and we are a different story. Spent an hour with SR tech on the phone today but even he was puzzled. Basically both needles respond to input but way off in terms of accuracy. One possible clue is the the ws dies when power is turned off. Evidently it should continue to run as it is self powered. Basically I do not understand how these guages work in tandem with masthead unit. Can anyone point me to diagnostic steps. I have seen and used the pdf files from SR. I am looking more for personal experience.
Lastly am u wasting my time with 30 year old guages? Is there something new out there that combines the two into one and would work with my masthead unit? Mine is a 4 wire.
