ByronRC, mine was on the workbench at home with the rudders and strut off it, making a few changes, hope to test it tomorrow morning, Jacob, great to meet you on sunday, the vid of your boat is on Rosses camera, I will get him to up load it and post a link. I will have the 54in up there next time and I will bring the GPS and strap it into your boat and get a speed.

I got a little Garmin Geko 101 that is the same as Adrian's (you saw that go into the radio box). I leave mine in the tool box so it is always with me when I am boating. (I really don't use it a great deal these days, just occasionally to check stuff)

All I do with mine is have it in a piece of pool noodle in a zip lock bag and it gets throw into the hull wherever there is space. If it does bounce out, it'll float with the noodle.

All you have to do is ask, I'll lend it to anyone. The standard rule applies to anything I loan out at the pond, be it props, tools, gps, engine bits......................................."You bendy, You Mendy"

I should be there in two weeks time, yeah mate, if I'm going you can grab a lift, no problems at all.

Johno
