Lake test #3 - All systems go, (except the tach that is)!

Speedo quit for a while, then started working again, gotta check into that. No Biggie. :laugh:

Don't look too far into the speedo problem, the seaweed fell off the pitot & all is OK now.

Mark, get yourself a small hand held GPS, like the Garmin etrex. Mine cost 85 bucks a few years ago and does speed. I think any GPS does speed.

Great video! thanks.

Which is why I normally keep my pitot tube in the 'up' position. Just creates drag &/or snags stuff ...

Bleve my Etrex was $89.95 @ the now defunct Boaters World.

Thanks guys, I'll put GPS on my list for Santa this year. With all the floating logs and trash in Lake Jackson, (my home lake), I'm surprised the pitot is even still there!
