There are a couple of mentions on another thread regarding paddlewheel speed sensors and gauges, so I thought I'd post some info that was very useful to me recently.
Those of you that already know this info, please bear with me.
A few weeks ago I discovered that my 30 year old paddlewheel sensor was leaking pretty bad.
it had cracked and my fear is that it would only get worse.
I didn't have the plug that fits that thru hull and I don't have quick nor easy solution for hauling the boat.
I went searching online with the idea of finding someone with the same paddlewheel or even just the plug that I could do a quick purchase and temporary fix.
I was very surprised to find that Signet Marine was not only still in business but actually made replacement sensors, plugs, cables and gauges that are exact replacements.
I gave them a call and had a brand new paddlewheel with cable, a plug and a shiny new gauge that fit right in where my old tired gauge was.
The guy I spoke to there (can't recall his name) totally reminded me of Ken and their service was great.
Definitely a benefit to have for our old classic plastics.
As I said, some of you may already know this, but this is for those folks who don't (like me)
Had I found them earlier I would have replaced this stuff a LONG time ago.
