Speedwatch

Added to MyBoatsGear on 11/25/2009

Our Review
Speedwatch is a speed through the water instrument for small boats. Speedwatch is a stand-alone system comprising; an impeller, transmitter and display. Mount the impeller under the boat and place the transmitter inside the boat. Speed transmits to the display anywhere in the boat, up to 13 feet away. Installation is easy and there are no holes required.

There are GPS devices like ” Velocitek ” and others for small boat applications. The downsides to GPS are twofold. First the GPS will give you speed over the ground not through the water. Second, a GPS needs to acquire a signal and there may be delays in getting you your speed. Speedwatch gives you actual speed through the water.

Speedwatch benefits •

The display can be mounted anywhere on the boat or even on you. •
Registers speeds down to 0.3 mph •
Tracks acceleration •
Countdown timers specific for regattas •
Instant speed •
Actual speed through water

Cost around $250
