MODULAR MARINE INSTRUMENT A modularized marine instrument sensing device is described wherein a paddlewheel assembly for providing an electromagnetic signal proportional to marine vessel speed is separably mountable on retaining members provided in a sensor housing. The sensor housing may house a Hall-effect device which converts the varying magnetic field from the paddlewheels to an electrical signal proportional to vessel speed. The sensor housing may also incorporate a piezoelectric transducer for providing a depth sounding and fish finding function. Optionally, the paddlewheel assembly may include a temperature sensing device, such as a thermistor, within a frame assembly which incorporates locking tabs and engagement pins which cooperate with the retaining members on the sensor housing. |
