Not fast at all, less than 5 mph. I was about 20' west of the moorings round
the back of the island north of Belle Isle on Windemere. (in-case you happen
to find yourself there ;-) The boat came to a dead stop. I think the skeg or
the leg jammed against a rock as the prop, still turning, tried to drill its
way through the side of it. It's amazing how much damage can be done in just
a second. I also caught my spare prop, leaving the middle of the Brock Hole
(?) jetty south side. 2 props in one day, I hear the cheers from speed limit
supporters!
This was Easter this year, about a week before the TV report about how low
the water is on Windemere this year...

That looked extremely promising until I saw the price. $55,000!!!!!

Echopilots are a bit more reasonably priced. But they are best suited to
sailing boats - if you have a carnation prop I take it you are going quite
fast...
