| Got a '84 2001 with Airguide speedos. One is filling with water, but still registers exactly with the other one. Does water run into the speedo unit from the transom pick-up the whole length of the boat, and if so how am getting water in the housing? |

Dave, No, water should not be getting to the speedo. You have an internal leak. The commom issue is a crack in the SS bellows inside. Silver solder the crack. You are getting a reading since the speedo is seeing water pressure. Welcome to CCfan. Do you have some pictures to post? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Thanks, I took it apart and looked for cracks, I guess I will have to try to gently force some water into the bellows and id the crack.. Good call. |

| Don't introduce water, use air- lung power. You should be able to blow 15mph. You feel it of it doesn't hold. In that case, silver solder the entire diaphragm joint. |

Tim is correct that you should be able to blow by mouth and find the leak. I seem to recall the average PSI by mouth is about 4. If it doesn't work, then yes compressed air but, it MUST be regulated and not exceeding 30 PSI. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
