In a message dated 98-11-25 03:34:14 EST, you write:

<< I don't think so, Bill. It's hard enough to hold it against the water force
normally. On a stick it would be even more difficult. Maybe you could
attach it to something more massive like a paddle and hold it with both
hands, but could you read it? A speed indicator would be more useful if you
had your hands free to handle the boat and could adjust things as you
observed the speed reading. >>

WHY NOT mount it on your Rudder?? As I am often doing a 360 scan for PWC and
such anyway I suspect that I could read the Knot Meter as I am on the Tiller.

Would this somehow affect the readings??
