L400 - Access to speedometer from inside?

Roger Lawson-Lee All Messages By This Member #25990 Hi Marcus, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Go Port Forward cabin, lift the floor panel between the 'V' berth, you will see the unit in the floor with a lead attached. You will also see a blanking unit, normally attached by wire. There is a flap that keeps most of the water out when you pull the unit out, just be ready with the blanking plug. On replacing the unit, kep the arrow mark pointing forward and don't over tighten, use a little vaseline on the 'O' ring seal. Should be quite straight forward. Kind regards Roger toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Thu, 31 Jan 2019 at 19:13, Marcus via Groups.Io <pondering_50=[email protected]> wrote: Hello, Bounced on the bottom, my speedometer stopped working, ?

trgresham All Messages By This Member #25991 Vaseline (and other petroleum based lubricants) can degrade rubber seals and cause them to swell. On the speedometer, this will effectively increase the diameter of the o-ring, make it difficult to reinsert into the housing sleeve (especially past the flap), and will eventually cause it to leak. Don't ask how I know... Use a silicone based lubricant on all your rubber o-rings, especially those in your macerator pumps. Everything else Roger says is correct.

Marcus All Messages By This Member #25992 Thanks for such a quick response.? Found it right away.? Started to open, but more water than I wanted came in.? Just tighten it back down for now.? Guessing it is the wheel, but not really in good place to just open it at least without having a new one to replace, so just will see if I can order one from West Marine for my next stop over.? Until then I use rpm and sog to determine my speed.? Thanks again both of you as you both were very helpful and i greatly appreciate it. Marcus
Marcus All Messages By This Member #25993 Tim, Thanks for the tip on silicone..? though a bit late on that one, as I just too replaced yesterday a pump in bathroom and used a bit of Vaseline to keep rubber O ring in place so as to screw pump into place.? Guess i wait and see if this causes me a problem. ?? Thank you Marcus
