You might think about using an inexpensive GPS as a knot meter. It
has lots of advantages, but doesn't tell you much about currents.

I just installed a cheap little depth sounder (Bottom Line

the best place for a "paddlewheel" sensor? I would like it close to
the transom so I can lean overboard and clear it when it gets
fouled, as I know from experience they are prone to do. but:
centerline? As far outboard as possible? Or where?
