The mechanical Sumlog on my MoBo has broken cable and the impellor looks as if its been attacked by rabid dogs !! The 'blades' are missing chunks.
I can find cable ... no idea if length is ok though ... but impellor seems not easy to find. My Speed log is based on 0 - 30kts ... but all I find are 0-40kts.. Price of cable is daylight robbery of course !!
I have a new in box NASA dual Speed and Depth ... so thinking maybe to remove the VDO and replace with the NASA ... would mean cutting hole in hull where Sumlog is bolted through. Depth of course can be in hull ...
Boat at present has no depth sounder at all.
But I noticed that slings on lift out were catching the Sumlog impellor - maybe its why its damaged from actions before. Yes I can 'pull' log and put in plug ... but not something I like doing.
Another way of course would be to mount a Pitot Tube speed on the transom .....
Which ever way - seems either silly money or making holes in hull !
What would you do ?
