My x-65's speedometer is not working. All the other stuff(water temp,depth, etc..) is still working fine. It was working last year and then all of a sudden just registered "0" even though I was moving forward at various speeds. I let it go until I it took it out for storage and cleaned up the little paddle wheel with a brush figuring the little buildup was the culprit. No luck. Still doesnt register speed. Any Ideas???

PatrolCarr<br />The little paddle wheel needs to turn free and of course be in the water flow. One blade of the paddle wheel has a magnet. Make sure the magnet did not fall out. You can feel it attract a screwdriver blade. If that is ok make sure still plugged in on the other end. It plugs in to a wire connected to the power plug on unit but several feet from the unit where the plug is. Fallow the wire from either end and make sure plugged in and contacts clean.
