Captain Doug, I don't know what a "lead" line is. Please explain. ----Larry Old 189 M-15 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Douglas Kelch Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 7:25 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: Compass, knot, depth gauges, gps. I just use a hand held gps as double duty for a knot meter and gps. I do have a fixed mount compass and keep an old fashioned lead line for occasional use. I sail shallow draft boats, 2 ft 11 inch draft board/keel down and donot worry much about the depth while sailing. I use the lead line when checking out an anchorage if it is unfamiliar.

Since it has been about 15 years since last buying a knot meter,depth gauge or gps, does anybody have any recommendations as to which brand is a good cross between quality and price or is it a matter of "1st class or no class"? Tom B.
