The paddle wheel spins freely and the knotmeter works. The only thing I can think of is some random piece of goo was stuck on it from the dirty bottom and I never saw it because of the pressure wash at haulout. In other news I got my spare impeller out and it works too – but it is missing the O-rings. WTF??? Good thing I looked now!

If it doesn't then you may need to clean the socket in which it turns. Bleach helps. Andy C&C 40 Peregrine Currently enjoying the warm clear weather in St Andrews, New Brunswich.

Have done a lot of 'fixes' to make it work, and it is still spotty. I even bought a new wheel... no help.

The boat had been unused for several weeks with the bung installed. I installed the transducer(s) before leaving the dock and the knotmeter read zero until we had covered about 5 miles when it started reading correctly. I assumed there was a build-up of growth in front of the paddlewheel, and it performed fine for the rest of the trip.

Now I can go over and see why my knotmeter reads 0 underway, but if I pull the impellor out and spin it the readings are good. Any ideas why the paddlewheel spins freely in my hand but not in the water??? BTW – the diver that cleaned my bottom said now I had 3 different colors of paint showing maybe it was time for more LOL. The last time I painted I did one blue layer and one red layer over black original. It seems to have ablated itself right off the boat.
