2002 Super Sport - Paddle wheel, but no Perfect Pass

[crc203]

I've had the boat about a month, without perfect pass. I noticed it does have the paddle wheel on the bottom, trying to figure out what it might be used for.

Thanks.

Speedo probably, especially if you have the Faria gauges.

It had the digital gauges that have been replaced. It does have the two tubes on the back ( I forget what they're called) that I assume are for the speedo.

Pitot

The pitot tubes were for the digital gauges. When they replaced them with the analog faria gauges, they do not work with the pitot tubes, and used the paddlewheel. This was correct. You should be able to use that same paddlewheel for PP if you want to. Just call Nautiqueparts.com and tell them what you have (the Faria replacement gauges with paddlewheel). There is a special cable you would need to tie the PP to that paddlewheel and still allow your speedo to work.

Thanks a lot!

Or you could go stargazer and use gps if you aren't running a river with current. Don't have to touch existing spedometer setup.

I'll be putting in PP as soon as I save up the $$$. I'll probably go with the stargazer.
