Mark — I would NOT consider the i40 system for wind; your only choice for a wind transducer is one suitable only for power boats.
The i70 is a nice system; and yes, you do get water temp with it, as the transducer is a single depth/speed/temp transducer. And you get a much better wind transducer. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On Dec 18, 2018, at 3:10 PM, Dr. Mark Bodnar via CnC-List > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > I'd appreciate some advice regarding a non-functioning depth sounder. > > Near the end of the season my depth sounder started reading 0 no matter the > condition.
