Thanks guys, I appreciate the info. There is a compass and knotmeter on the boat. They have been sitting in drydock so long and the boat was built in 77 so I would be afraid they are not working right up to snuff. How would I go about checking the knot meter before I put her in the water. The compass, it seems, I could simply compare to another compass and then calibrate if neccessary. I have a garmin hand held gps. So it would seem the only things I am missing are the depth and AWI. Any recommends on a relatively inexpensive depth gauge? I fear the AWI will have to wait. Oh what I could do with an unlimited bank account!!!
