[Rhodes22-list] Toys for Rhodes

[ed kroposki]

Doug,
	My recycled boat came with a Standard Horizon speed meter, which
never has worked.  And I do not intend to replace it (the paddle on the
bottom of the boat spins).  My hand held gps seems accurate enough for me.
I think all you really need is a depth finder.  But on a Rhodes22, your
centerboard will tell that.
	Wait for MJM's reply.  He usually has all the bells, whistles, and
things the rest of have not thought of.
                           Ed K

Being a purist, Stan pleads ignorance on the subject of instruments for the
Rhodes and suggests that I query the list.

I need a depthfinder and knotmeter.  Some of the digital combo units are
rather "pricey" and others seem to be out of stock. I now am considering
separate depthfinder and knotmeter units in proven (read old-fashioned)
technology.

I am inclined toward the SR Mariner Self-powered Knotmeter (KT-5), and
Digital Depth Meter (DDM-1), in the Defender Marine 2004 catalog, page 295.
As they are in stock, Stan will not have an excuse to delay getting my
"almost new" Rhodes to me.

Do any  "Rhodies" have experience with these items or can you recommend
others?

Thanks and fair winds!
--Doug
