Just ordered a speedo today. I really think I can do 15mph with my revo 13. Does the speedo go that high?

If I recall correctly, it goes to about 7 or 8. Have fun trying to get it there and good luck keeping it there for more than a few minutes.

15mph? Maybe with a sail, mirage and electric motor. I suspect we'll see a hull replacement thread from you in the future if you can get that thing over 8 mph on a consistent basis.

You'll have to buy 2 speedos and combine the two readings.

is that speedometer a Hobie accessory? i didnt see it in the catalog, got a link?

It's in the catalogue with number 80030001. Sometimes called “pitot tube”.

They actually work very well. Within the confines of the discernible resolution, they match my GPS exactly.

A very versatile instrument! viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4288

Quite a useful bit of kit in tidal waters because it measures speed through the water rather than over the ground.

Example of use: if you position yourself beside a stationary object such as a buoy you can measure actual tidal flow (direction and speed) which you can then use to plot a direct course to your destination.

This might not seem anything to get terribly excited about but if you do not have a working GPS and find yourself needing to get from point A to point B in restricted visibility (e.g. fog or night) it could be a potential lifesaver.
