Yeah the first time you pull that thing you realize quickly how useless a bilge pump is in a "holed" situation.

Paul, sounds like a good place for it, after all, it you take the plug out, and it's at the bottom of the shower pan, the water is simply going to go down the drain, right? You mean, no one as invented a alternate way to get the speed without a paddle transducer, or, invented one that retracts easily? (like the nose wheel on an F-18) Would a copper wheel work, does it need paddles? I refer to my GPS, which isn't perfectly accurate, but beats using a sextant for that purpose, during a 'round the buoy race, anywayz.

There are four possibilities: 1) You hook it up correctly and everything works fine. 2) You hook it up backward and they have a circuit (4 diodes) to switch the polarity for you and everything works. My old knot meter was like that. 3) You hook it up backward and they have reverse polarity protection (1 diode) and it doesn't work. You switch the wires and it works. 4) You hook it up backward and it blows the unit out. You may or may not smell burning circuits. You may or may not see a spark. On my laptop, I did see a spark when I was in this category. You buy a new one which comes with instructions on how to hook it up. You swear you will never again be so stupid as to hook anything up without knowing beforehand which way is correct (or use the wrong charger in the case of my laptop), and it works. Allen

The paddle has magnets, the head counts each time one goes by.

I will say, the Tacticks set up is pretty dry, when you pull the triducer it has some kind of door that flips closed and you only get a small amount of water.

ha ha Jerrreee....... yes indeed, you have my stern alright,,, in all the races... heh heh... So I think my knot paddle is ok. I jus HATE getting that gush switching from plug to paddle and vice verse. N E ways,,, I have another problem..... with the Wind Direction Indicater Readout. It will show when I am on Starboard, but then when I am on Port, it thinks I am still on Starboard. The indicator always shows Starboard.. : ( It never did work and I have always depended on looking at the masthead fly or tell tales.

Ha! I am a mole inside the Cal forum as I just bought a Catalina 27! I used to have a Cal 30 but that is a long salty tail of drama on the high seas of the Hood Canal!

On my boat, we toss a stout log overboard and count the number of knots flying between our fingers as we watch the sand pass thru a small hour glass. How to you remove the paddles without sending a diver over the side?Jerry&nbsp;________________________________From:"ti… [at] ch2m.com &lt;mailto:ti… [at] ch2m.com&gt; " &lt;ti… [at] ch2m.com &lt;mailto:ti… [at] ch2m.com&gt; &gt;To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com &lt;mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com&gt;&nbsp; Sent: Saturday, December 3, 2011 3:15 PMSubject: RE: [Cal_Boats] Water wheel&nbsp; Dude,&nbsp;I'm curious and stumped as to what you are asking, do you mean the knot log paddlewheel (the red thing below)?the magnets should be embedded in the paddles, check with a hand compass.&nbsp;paddles can go bad, if you keep the log in the water all the time.&nbsp;I remove mine after racing and put the blank plug in. otherwise you can see what grows down there.&nbsp;&nbsp;Cheers,&nbsp;Timm Lessley503.863.4019 Cell to cell calls&nbsp;From:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com &lt;mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com&gt;&nbsp; [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com &lt;mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com&gt; ] On Behalf Of Jim IvesSent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 1:30 PMTo: ca… [at] yahoogroups.com &lt;mailto:ca… [at] yahoogroups.com&gt; Subject: [Cal_Boats] Water wheel&nbsp;&nbsp; Hi everyone,,&nbsp;I was at the yard today checking my boat and I was looking at the water wheel.
