Speed Log Recommendations

Hello Everyone, Magic is coming out of the water soon for bottom painting. Race season starts here in about six weeks. While she's on the hard I plan to replace the existing (non-functional) speed log. I'm looking for recommendations. I prefer to stay away from Raymarine for personal reasons. (After all it's my money, and I can spend it where I want.) Thanks for your suggestions & input. Michael Duvall

When we had our 2-29 out of the water last August, I replaced the original sounder with an Airmar NMEA2000 depth/speed/temp and replaced the Datamarine depth display with a Garmin GMI-10. It's really nice. My eventual goal is to add a GPS receiver to the NMEA network and replace the original knotmeter (which still works) with a matching GMI-10. With the GPS and two displays there is a multitude of information that can displayed. You can see the GMI in the lower right of this picture from our last Voyage... http://www.flickr.com/photos/techsavvy/2823109784/sizes/m/in/set-72157607081368785/ >Richard On Feb 19, 2009, at 7:50 AM, Michael D wrote: > > Hello Everyone, > > Magic is coming out of the water soon for bottom painting.
