Thanks Nick.  It's good to know that all I will need is the replacement
mount.

I really like the knotmeter for working on stroke efficiency.  I
discovered that raising my top
hand a couple inches _found_ an extra .4 knots.  I just need to learn to
keep my top
hand that high ALL the time, it tends to drop when I'm not paying
attention or get lazy.
