{"product_id":"qbp769170","title":"Raymarine Paddle Wheel Replacement Kit","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raymarine TA900 is a paddle wheel replacement kit for maintaining the speed-sensing paddle wheel assembly on compatible Raymarine and Tacktick transducer installations. It is a small service part intended for boats that rely on a paddle wheel transducer for through-water speed data, where a worn, damaged, or fouled wheel can affect readings at the instrument display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is useful during routine haul-out service, transducer maintenance, or troubleshooting when the existing paddle wheel no longer turns freely. The packaged size is approximately 1 in high by 4 in wide by 5 in long, with a listed weight of about 0.05 lb, so it is easy to keep onboard as a spare without taking up meaningful locker space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement paddle wheel kit for compatible Raymarine and Tacktick speed transducer setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps restore proper paddle wheel movement when the original wheel is worn, damaged, or not spinning freely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical spare for sailboats, cruising boats, and fishing boats that depend on through-water speed readings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact package, approximately 1 in x 4 in x 5 in, with a listed weight of about 0.05 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful during scheduled transducer cleaning, haul-out work, or pre-season electronics checks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitment should be checked against the existing transducer before installation, especially on boats with older instrument systems or mixed Raymarine and Tacktick equipment. The part is intended for the paddle wheel area of the speed transducer, not for display, network, or power wiring replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best results, inspect the transducer body and surrounding area while the paddle wheel is being replaced. Marine growth, sand, old antifouling paint, or a bent axle area can keep a new wheel from turning correctly, so the housing should be clean before the boat goes back into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit makes sense for owners who want to keep speed-through-water readings usable without replacing a full transducer assembly when only the paddle wheel service part is needed. It is especially relevant for sailing instruments, trip logging, current comparison, and boat-speed trimming where a free-spinning paddle wheel matters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52024097112245,"sku":"QBP769170","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1330509_qbp769170.jpg?v=1780192099","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp769170","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
