Anyone have a paddle wheel //got chartplotter//

[Richard Bullen]

I have a fishfinder eagle fishmark 480 need a paddle wheelwith cable to unit so I can at least judge speed. Any suggestions would be appreciated

R.B,

Get a handheld gps and use the speed from that. The paddle wheel typa on the stern are not what you want for trolling.

I have a LEI SP-PL speed sensor ( Paddle type) that fits a 2004 & NewerLowrance unit w/ a blue conection. Paid $4 at gander on the clearance table if that helps. Took a chacne & won't fit my unit. Will thishelp? Eagle is made by Lowrance.

Has Been I believe the unit I have is much older than 2004 and unsure if it will fit. Seems like most everyone says to buy a handheld GPS??????

I think you have the gray connectors Richard

THe conector on mine is a push on. The connector on the paddle is a screw on w/ 7 prongs in it. I don't have down speed ( wish I did) but I have a handheld GPS. Very nice for SOG . I also have a surface (paddle type on my big boat) . I use GPS and surface speed & compare diff to judge surface current. Any info is good if you use it right, at least it is some gauge you can repeat if you hook up. Those 2 & direction of troll at hook up are important if you dont have down speed. good luck.
