Perfect Pass Paddle

[JeffR]

I have Perfect Pass Pro on a SAN 2000. Lately it malfunctions during wakeboarding in that the speedo part of it suddenly drops to zero. This freaks out the system and I have to turn it off. Usually the speedo starts to re-register on its own again and goes up from zero to actual speed again. I wonder if this means a bad lead or possibly a paddle wheel that's starting to jam. Any thoughts. Jeff

RE: Perfect Pass Paddle

Crawl under the boat and see if the paddle wheel spins freely. You can also pull the paddle wheel assembly out of its housing in the hull, and spin it from the topside. Spinning the paddle wheel out of the boat should move the speedometer smoothly, and the speedometer should go back to zero as the paddle wheel slows down.
