The Aquameter II is a "best buy," I think. Big, easy to read, comes with a "snap-fit" to the mounting circle for easy removal when not in use -- to prevent somebody swiping it off your deck, and very accurate, far as I can tell. Both NWOC (http://www.nwoc.com/) and Pacific Wave (http://www.aone.com/~pacwave/no_frames.html) sell it, and I think I saw one at Alder Creek (http://www.aldercreek.com/) in Portland, too. Around $50 US in paddleshops, and has an optional accessory bungie-through-a-pipe-cap deal ($12 US?) that you can custom fit to the crown in your deck and hook to padeyes. If the bungie attachments are undesirable (they are not super secure, and look kinda scummy), the pipe cap can be bolted to the deck. OTOH, you can buy a PVC pipe cap from a hardware store and saw/carve/file/sand to fit the crown of the deck. Saves a couple bucks. Did that with one of my yaks, and liked it better than the Aquameter accessory. Sexy black color. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Apr 12 1998 - 18:22:36 PDT
