Instruments - SR Mariner

[djweir]

The 27/2 I bought have 3 SR Mariner instruments, knotmeter, apparent wind angle and wind speed all mounted on Stbd bulkhead.  None appear to work.  Any suggestions for replacements that will fit in the pre-existing holes.

I wouldn't replace any of those. A windex atop the mast and developing a feel for windspeed takes care of two. A handheld GPS will give a truer speed over ground. Post a photo of the bulkhead and maybe we can come up with some alternative for the holes.

I had to weigh in here.  I replaced my instruments by replacing the pedestal with one of the curved pedestals and mounting new instruments on it.  I put my stereo speakers in the holes that the old instruments were in.  They fit perfectly.

The fun was that the transducers did not fit the hull penetrations.  We don't have a crane here to pick up the boat, so my sailing buddy and I drilled new holes where the existing holes were while it was in the water.  Our system worked so well that we did not get enough water in to kick on the bilge pump.

I understand that Keith and Jonnie Scott have purchased all the SR Mariner parts, and have them at their place.
