[Rhodes22-list] transducer thru-hull

[bgreenwald at optonline.net]

Hi all,

I have an ST-60 tridata with a thru-hulll speed transducer, 
installed in the lazarette by GB 2 years ago on my then 
new 2002.  I have had some troubles since the beginning 
achieving accurate readings  - I tried various fixes until 
last summer when the whole thing failed - sent it back to 
Raymarine for a cable replacement.  In that process, I 
discovered that the thru-hull is not aligned perfectly with 
the center line of the boat - its probably off 5-10 degrees 
fro parallel.  I am curious if this is a material problem in 
accurately recording speed and, if so, if there is any way 
to remove the thru-hull and reseat it on the proper line.  
Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
