    Hello Folks,
     Does anybody know of an accurate, INEXPENSIVE, speed sensing device that
    displays speed in knots?
       I am visually inpaired so 'dials' are useless, I need digits.
     I need to be able to deploy, and retrieve the sensor easily as I do not
    intend to allow foulind to occur.
      Ny current thru-the-hull speed transducer/display is wrong to the tune of
    20%. I has no calibration ability.
     My Trimble differential GPS gives me great over-the-bottom speeds but in
    order to compute my optimum RPM for motoring I really need the accurate
    through-the-water speed.
     Any help would be wonderful!

       Also, does anybody know of a spellcheck program that will work with
    'OUTLOOK EXPRESS 5?
     I NEED a spellchecker for my e-mail. NO I'm NOT going to install 'OFFICE
    2000! It introduces too many variables.
    I still have never experianced the famous 'refusus to turn off' error!
    Thanks for your help, again,
