John, I have read about kayak speedometers. There is one called the Speed Coach, and another one called Speedmate from Westmarine. Take a look at these URLs and see what you think. http://www.nkhome.com/rp/speedcoachp/speedcoachp.html http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/commerce/command/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=201&prrfnbr=1999&store_num=&store_name=&subdept_num=&subdept_name=&class_num=&class_name=&outlet= Rick --------------------- >Nick Said: > >How are you able to measure speed?

I've got one of the speedtech II's. It's an interesting little gizmo, a small fin attaches to the side of your boat. Hanging off the back of the fin is an impeller that transmits information to the display. It looks a lot like the speedcoach, it's less money but doesn't have the stroke rate counter. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
