Hey, baylor. I have found a pick up for the Merc 700 E. Where is the appropriate place to mount it?
I am sure you had no intention of insulting or riduculing me. But you see I am talking on the phone with another party. I have no idea what this looks like. You had no way of knowing this and so I made myself fair game for any respone and interpretaion that you chose to make. Yes, it does help as far as it goes. May I assume that this would be a position no more than a foot from the side of the boat and that only the fin portion is submerged? I have included some further description but unfortunately your helpful response came in ahead of that post. Thank you so much for your helpful remarks. I look forward to hearing more from you.Originally posted by achris:<br /> I believe the most appropriate place to mount a speedometer is somewhere you can read it while driving the boat.<br /><br />Best place to mount a speedometer pickup is on the transom, so the 'fin' part is in a clear stream of water.<br /><br />Hope this helps....

What's not helpful about using the correct name for a part? And I have a wonderful life, thank you.Originally posted by north40:<br /> This is supposed to be a help forum not a contest to see who can waste the most space with meaningless posts. Get a life!!speedo
I had a look at that thread and yes, he does seem to be rather verbose doesn't he.....Originally posted by north40:<br /> A Chris, my post not directed at you. I read some of the "Hostile Takeover" post. Anyone with the name of technospeedo should know how to mount a speedo.
No, this supposed be a website to attract potential custormers that has gotten completely out of hand. I went to bed a Petty Officer First Class and woke up a Chief.Originally posted by north40:<br /> This is supposed to be a help forum not a contest to see who can waste the most space with meaningless posts.

Are you kidding me? What you said was funny, what I replied was sarcasm. I am changing my handle to techtoosweeto. Did you hear the one about the man of few words? Stay tunedOriginally posted by achris:<br /> TS,<br /><br />Sorry about the sarcasm, just the way I am.<br /><br />You'll find the correct name is pitot, pronounced 'pit - o'<br /><br />From Encarta<br />
