Speedo

[stoneam2006]

Looking for a way to get a low speed speedo on my boat won't go slow enough to show trolling speeds. I can get the info on fish finder I believe it is a lowrance x85? I can look if it is something I can get to get speed on that unit otherwise I'm looking for a cheap way to get speed

Why wouldn't GPS speed work. Hell you could by a X4 for a few bucks on sale.

OOHH, look up a lowrance X4 I think Cabela's has sale on them?? You can pick up a black& white off amazon for peanuts.

Cabelas has the X4 & X3 $75 x4 $89. Both color plus a extra sonar for the rear of the boat, there were some Garmins mixed in $99--$119. This should be in your wheel house. These units use GPS, not the water wheel like the older models. Hope this helps ya!! PAP

So as long as the unit says with GPS it will have speed?

Make sure you have a chart plotter with it. More important than a speedometer as you mark where the fish are being caught and where you are in case of fog.

The speedo I bought is GPS.

You have a smart phone? Download ulyess speedometer, or use a gps made for a car usually they will go down to 1mph then up or down by .1 mph

Your x85 has speed capability. You will need the paddle wheel. I think Lowrance number is ST-TBK. Been using them for years. I like to watch sow difference from sog on gps
