go to http://www.bandg.com/upload/BandG/Documents/Manuals/sonicinstall.pdf It is a Manual we have not normally on board. There is a sketch of the sensor and of its neoprene cap. Tomorrow - today is Sunday- I'll call to a local dealer I know for help. All the best Gianni sv EUTIKIA ----- Original Message -----

Can or will you please confirm that your photo is from the "upper" hull mount sensor and not the keel unit. I think if it is the upper you can access-it from the forward cabin. If it is the keel you most likely have a big job on your hands. We have an SM and getting to the keel unit would be a major pain to the point that I'd consider putting in a new speed and water temp unit in place of the forward sensor. I know it's not Amel but given your current location well we all do what we have to do. In any case we would NOT go to sea w/0 a fix or at least fast expoxie on the hole and deal with later. Good luck.
