Though about that however that would only register surface temp then again a foot or two down is probably not much different. Nice alternative with no install required.

Re: Lake Water Temperature Gauge
I ordered this sensor/wire which I have received and can confirm it works perfectly with the unit. Wire is about 30' long so suitable for almost any application and round which is easy to seal. The unit is marine tuff stainless and designed to be transom mounted made by Airmar that supplies most transducers and sensors for most all brands of marine electronics. These normally cost $100++ but this is what they call new old stock so $20. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Airmar-Ext ... 2749.l2649

70 degrees? Brrrrrrr! Lake Norman is mid-80s now. Very nice! I guess latitude makes a difference...

Ya all just remember that in the winter when we can go ice fishing and dog sledding and of course the popular sport of ice boating... ...

That is the same temperature as our urinal. It's supposed to be refreshing, not a hot tub.
