Default welcome aboard!

grheiner! Finally on the surface after a
3 year silent run! And thanks in advance for your work I researched it back in 2022 and asked a german Subsimmer to help out but have gotten nowhere with it since:

He basically wrote that this "Wegstreckenzähler" (~"distance counter") obviously is a trip odometer coupled to the revolution counter of the engine. A planned distance is being entered into the device, and as soon as the boat has covered the distance an alarm sounds. Most probably done to ease dead reckoning (or could be also used to calculate distance made, against fuel level to get the mean fuel consumption – only my thought).
Best wishes,
