Autohelm ST50 plus
 
Hi
Just bought a used boat and it has a Autohelm ST50 plus
any one know how to get the speed to read in MPH and not in knots per
hour?

Thanks

Why mph and not knots?
(It is not "knots per hour", one knot = 1 nautical mile per hour)

If you are using any normal chart, it will be marked in nautical miles,
therefore knots are simpler to use.
Alternatively, just multiply by 1.151 to get mph.
