I got the gps today. I popped it in the jack...As you can see it's really small. Almost no weight. I hope to get back in the water Friday and gather some numbers.

Its Accurate. Does MPH to the tenths. Got my SV up to 32.8mph I mounded 2 velcro strips directly in front of the motor and place the unit there when I use it.

Be sure and run your boat at WOT for 3-5 seconds and dont slow down a lot in the turns for it to get an accurate max reading. It takes a few seconds for it to level out on this reading.

Hi where did you get it?
Also you may want to put it inside a clear plastic bag or zip bag just incase water gets in the hull it won't get wet.

All I can say is that BattlePack stick is HUGE. I'm being way out gunned in the sticker department. :D

I'm going to buy a few....May as well...they are cheap and light. Why not just have them hard mounted in every boat.
