Ok but I need to fix the leaking on the old sensor and that is what I need help with.

A picture would be helpful,

How is it leaking? did the mounting bracket crack the hull? did it rip the wire out and water is leaking in through the hole?

I think a 3M 5200 product would be best to seal the hull,

If it was me I think I may just upgrade my depthfinder/chartplotter and depend on that for speed,

The little wheel broke and when I took the boat out I can see some water leaking around the sensor housing.

It is an Airmar transducer. You should have a blank plug that came with the boat. While it is out of the water pull the pin out then pull the transducer out. Inspect the thruhull for damage. Put some silicon grease like Super Lube on the Plugs O ring and install it. Follow the wire to the helm. unplug it from the Connext. Take it to West Marine and have them mach it up or just order one from Yamaha. If the thruhull is damaged it will need to be replaced. Pretty simple job. Remove the backing nut. Step on the thruhull and push it out. Reinstall using 3M 4200.

Hi motomandan,

Thank you for the advise but this is my issue. I open my swin platform remove the cover and I can see the traducer all the way on the bottom, not impossible but very hard to reach. I can only touch since there is a big tank on top , looks like it is part of the exhaust system but it does not let me reach the sensor completely. I believe I have to remove the sensor and the thuhull but I do not think I will be able to do it myself.

Got to hang upside down!

For 400 bucks I would live with the plug for ever. You can buy a chartplotter for that money.

I don't think that is the right part. OP has a 2012 boat and described a wheeled unit.

My 2012 has a GPS speedometer, but it is an AR240, not an AR210.

And I have a hard time believing that a wheeled speedometer unit is $400... But I probably have seen worse.

 

[tdonoughue]

...that said, I just went and tried to look it up myself and found the same thing, but that does not look like a wheel...

Edited to add: @luisyamaha , are you sure you don't have a 2011?

That is the Parts list for his boat. He said the wheel was broke and was leaking around it. If it is just the wheel that can be bought separate. But not from Yamaha. It has to be purchased from Airmar. I was in the business for 15 yrs. Parts are expensive.

If you zoom in you can see the paddlewheel sticking out the bottom of it.

Check out this thread as well:

Its a paddle wheel replacement for the 190/192 series, but I’d imagine that it's identical to the larger boats as well. Best part is, replacement cost was only about $30.
