Same here, I pull the paddle wheel every time I leave the boat to
prevent growth on it. Water going's to spray in, but it's no big deal.

Dan, there are a lot of us who regularly pull our speed transducers.
You may get a pint of water inside (mine is under the dinette and
drains into the bilge). Fear not. Get someone to spin the wheel and
see if it works.

I had a tech support ticket open with Actisense (the Digital NMEA
product I'm using to read my data streams from my transducers) and
they confirmed that if the padwheel is not spinning, NO data will be
formed and no NMEA sentenses will be transmitted. SO - YES, the
padwheel HAS to spin, and it's not a wiring issue (95% certain)...
That said, I went out on deck and tried pulling a line along the
underside of the hull to activate the wheel and tried using oars to
move the water around the waterline but then it started to rain so I
gave up the attempt. The only other non-evasive method is to get in
the dinghy and try to reach the wheel with my hand... or bite the
bullet and try pulling the sensor out completely and replacing it with
the plug which to me sounds like extremely risky business but you guys
seem to think it's a breeze...
WISH ME LUCK!

I never leave Touché’s paddle wheel in. Only put it in when we go
sailing.

You should have a plug which allows you to remove the
transducer with the boat in the water. Simple process of
pulling the transducer and inserting the plug. If done
quickly, you might let 2 cups of water in. Will need a person
spinning the paddle and one looking at the instrument.

Thanks guys.
Difficult to get the padwheel moving when the boat is in
the slip and there's no current lol.
I can try sticking my outboard motor in front of the boat
and gunning it to get the water flowing... or I can get in
the dinghy and try to reach under to spin the wheel
manually...
Before I do that - I have a digital readout of my NMEA
0183 sentences so I can analyze the readouts line by line.
I don't even have a readout for "0.0.0" on the speed (or
any speed data at all) I'm wonderring IF the padweel isn't
turning, it will literally give back NO data / sentences
at all? not even a "0.0.0"?

I also had a paddlewheel issue caused by bottom
paint. I did not discover the nature of the problem
was until the boat was out of the water.

The paddle wheel needs to spin to get a reading. I
have an Airmar transducer for the ST 60. It stopped
giving speed readings even though the paddle was clean
and rotated easily. A new paddle solved the issue. My
guess is that the build up of bottom paint was
blocking the impulse signal the paddle creates.
Perhaps scrapping the paddle free of paint might solve
your problem.

Hi all, I have a ST850 Airmar speed/temperature
transducer that I'm trying to get working (again)
with my new equipment. I'm pretty sure the issue
is with the wiring so if any of you have this
transducer maybe you know where I'm going wrong?
***My ST850 is from 2006 so I'm pretty sure it's
not the "smart sensor" one that is supposed to
output NMEA2000 sentences directly.
With my old system ONLY the green wire was hooked
up to a B&G nav computer and the black and shield
were connected to ground. (no temperature data)
I've got:
GREEN to Speed Pulse IN (not sure what "pulse" is
ecactly)
Black, and Shield to Ground IN
Red to Speed Voltage IN
Yellow/Red Stripe to Temp IN
Brown to nothing
With this configuration I'm getting Temperature
NMEA sentences, but no Speed. Anyone know where
I'm going wrong? Does the padwheel have to be
turning to get speed sentences?
