Anyone know of a non-paddlewheel log that's easy to use and won't cost the earth?
My old Stowe paddle one is broken and no longer made and I hate removing and re-inserting the damn thing. Very disconcerting looking at the bottom through a fountain of sea water
There are ultrasonics, but I don't know the cost. I just leave mine in, it has antifoul on it and in three years never had a problem. If the boat has sat for a few weeks, then for the first couple of miles it will read a little slow but in 30 min or so its back to being correct
Believe there are transducer through hulls that are self sealing so pulling the plug doesn't allow much water in. Have had no problem swapping my old style paddle transducer out. Just have to the plug/paddlewheel ready to insert when the old one comes out.
