I havehad a somewhat similar problem several times while fly= ing in rain. The VM1000 manifold pressure gauge started showing erroneous va= lues. Manifold pressure was up to 60 inches (yeah right, I wish). I finally=20= solved this problem by putting a cover on the MP transducer to prevent any w= ater from getting on the circuit board. After doing that, I have had no furt= her problems while flying in rain.



Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me, number 4 anomaly: MP went=20= to zero for 30 seconds as soon as I broke out at 1,500 ft on a VOR approach.=



The VM stuff is real nice e= quipment, but very sensitive. It seems that you've got to keep it dry for it= to function properly.=20

Glad to see that you finally got your "feet wet". Hope that=20= you can fix the problems. The first thing is to try to keep all of the VM tr= ansducers dry. I even wrapped some 3 mil plastic around some of them. Not an= elegant solution, but it works. Let me know how you tackle the problem.

Sounds like a plan!  I believe you are correct in your=20= assesment.  I have connections all over the place and am going to use w= aterproof heat shrink on all these connections.   

See you at SunNFun next month!
