I use GPS and knotmeter. The GPS is great for speed over ground and can give you distance covered at a glance. You really need a knotmeter though to tell you how fast you're moving through the water. A knotmeter is invaluable as a sail tuning indicator. Give a tweak here, pick up a .10 knot, point a little higher, lose .5 knot etc. GPS can't do that.

If all you need is a padle wheel, try Standard Horizon tech service at 714-827-7600. They are out of the marine instrumentaion business but they still have parts.
