Re: sonic speed on SM 2000

Oliver Henrichsen, SV Vela Nautica
 

Hello,

As the old B&G Hydra system gave up on our 54, and also the sonic speed system failed. I did not see a reasonable way to go on and repair the old system. 
So we renewed the windvane and use Triton2 instruments. 
To replace the sonic speed sensor, we choosed the Airmar DST800 tridata sensor. It fits in the through hull of the old deapth sensor and givs all, speed, deapth, sea temperature. 
With that renewal comes an NMEA2k bus and all the old Hydra central cpu and extension processor and all the wiring goes off. 
In that way we did not need to drill a new throughull and keapt the compfortable sonic speed without paddle wheel.

Dear Paul and Arno, 
thanks for your usefull  info. 
Do you have also examined how to remove the old sensor  (  the aft one) and its cable? its frontal part with the probe  seems to be glued in the front part pf the keel.

 On our SM the sonic speed,  the one with the two sensors,  that is connected to Hydra 200 is giving zero speed on the hydra 2000 monitor. 
This was probably due to the loss of the neoprene cap of the aft  sensor . Unfortunately this probe is out of production from long time.

Please Did  you hknow how to  repair it ?  Do you know how replace the cable and the aft sensor?
thanks
