Imagine gliding through the water with pinpoint accuracy on your vessel's speed, even at those tricky low speeds during docking or trolling. The Raymarine ST900/P17 stands out as a game-changer for marine enthusiasts, combining a high-performance Gen2 paddlewheel with fast-response temperature sensing in a sleek, low-profile thru-hull design. This long-body plastic sensor delivers reliable data to keep you informed, whether you're racing, cruising, or fishing.
Crafted with durability in mind, this sensor's plastic housing resists fouling while maintaining a low drag profile that won't disrupt your hull's hydrodynamics. Boaters report fewer false readings and more consistent performance compared to older paddlewheel models, making it a smart choice for both recreational and competitive sailing.
Setting up the ST900/P17 is straightforward for DIY boaters. The long-body thru-hull fits most hull thicknesses, and the included 10m cable provides ample reach to your instrument panel. Drill a clean hole, bed it in marine sealant, and secure—most installs take under an hour. For best results, align the paddlewheel parallel to the water flow, ideally forward of any prop wash.
Regular upkeep keeps it spinning smoothly season after season. Retract it during layup to avoid damage, and you'll enjoy years of trouble-free operation on the water.
This sensor shines when connected to Raymarine's i40, i50, or iTC-5 instruments, feeding analog signals that translate to clear, real-time dashboards. It's also a drop-in upgrade for older ST60 or ST80 systems, breathing new life into vintage cockpits. Fishermen love the temp data for contour trolling, racers trust the speed logs for handicap calculations, and cruisers rely on it for fuel-efficient planning.
Beyond Raymarine gear, its standard output plays well with third-party loggers, broadening its appeal for custom builds or multi-brand helm stations.
The Gen2 paddlewheel offers responsive startup at speeds as low as 0.3 knots and maintains linear accuracy up to 45 knots, reducing errors in low-speed scenarios like docking or fishing.
Yes, its analog output works seamlessly with i40, i50, iTC-5, and legacy ST60/ST80 systems, making it ideal for upgrades without full replacements.
Retract the sensor for easy access, rinse with fresh water, and apply a mild anti-fouling solution. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the plastic housing.
Absolutely, the durable plastic construction and thru-hull design handle saltwater exposure well, with proper installation and maintenance.
It minimizes drag and turbulence on the hull, improving overall boat performance and speed readings while reducing vulnerability to impacts.
Yes, the 10m cable reaches most instrument panels from thru-hull locations, with extension options available if needed.
Yes, the retractable piston allows simple removal without dry-docking, protecting it from ice or debris.
