Datamarine Instruments

In our '74 T-2 we have a set of the 4" round Datamarine gauges, the depthfinder s200DL, and the knot/wind meter combo s100kl mounted in the cockpit. The knot meter needs a new LCD, which I am considering buying from DMI, but the depth finder has no "guts" . The housing and glass are fixed into the bulkhead but all the inner workings are missing. So my question is, does anyone have the depthfinder that they would be willing to sell? I was outbid on one at the last second on Ebay and have yet to see anymore being listed. Sailing in this area without one is a bit dodgy and I'd like to keep the original instruments if at all possible. Finding 4" round replacement instruments is going to be difficult and I really want to try to avoid adapting a smaller gauge into the 4" hole. Any suggestions would be appreciated too. -Tracey

These guys still make 4" units, not the newest design but mine was on the boat when I got it in 1987! http://www.moorelectronics.com/sailing/ _____ From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tracey Estevez Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 11:44 AM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [Cal_Boats] Datamarine Instruments In our '74 T-2 we have a set of the 4" round Datamarine gauges, the depthfinder s200DL, and the knot/wind meter combo s100kl mounted in the cockpit.

John, Thanks for that info. The Moore instruments are the first new ones I have seen in 4". West Marine sells a combo gague in 3.5" but it is way too expensive.That's as close as I have found. Another Datamaine unit just came up on Ebay so I am keeping my eyes peeled. -Tracey --- In Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com, "John Boyce" <jecyob@...> wrote: > > These guys still make 4" units, not the newest design but mine was on the > boat when I got it in 1987! > > > > http://www.moorelectronics.com/sailing/ >

Greets: Like many GOB's mine has the Datamarine instrument set for speed and depth, separate gauges. The sending unit for the S-100KL knotmeter on me boat is toast. So after a somewhat prolonged search tracked down DMI Inc in Cape Cod, http://www.dmimarine.com/ spoke to them on the phone and they have all the needed parts to repair, replace or in my case a new sending unit for 130 bucks. Not bad. -- /ch
