There is not a simple answer to your question, but there are answers. There are 3 general choices and several more that will work: 1.) Replace the sonic speed SOW sensors. Several owners have indeed bought new sensors recently 2.) Add a B&G-compatible paddlewheel through-hull transducer for speed (SOW) 3. Add a SOG to SOW NEMA 0183 converter and everything works fine, except you cannot calculate "set & drift," but unless you plan to rac your SM, you will not need to know these.

I have a 1995 SM and changed out the B&G instruments for Raymarine instruments. Relatively straightforward replacement except for running the wiring to the mast head for the wind instrument. The wires for all instruments, run in a completely accessible channel on the starboard side at the ceiling intersection. Regards Bill Shaproski S/V Pacific Cool 206-375-2787

Hi Bill,
I don’t agree with your statement you can do without a STW sensor if you are not racing. In my current location (Caribbean) this may be OK but my former cruising grounds (Western-Europe) it would be quite an omission to live without STW. When tidal currents are getting significant you really appreciate the information you get from the difference between SOG and STW. We’ve sailed in places where the tidal current can run up to 8 knots. You really want to know when the tide change. So it’s very depending on your cruising grounds if you can do without a STW sensor. regards, Arno Luijten SV Luna, A54-121

Arno, you are correct, I should not have used the term, "if you are not racing." I should have said, "if you want a simple solution that costs less than $200."😀 Bill
