Knots being phased out?
Oliver Fleming wrote: Hi, I have been told that all new equipment, chartplotters, speedometers and the like will not have knots as a speed option. Knots will be phased out and KPH will be the new standard for marine equipment. Has anybody heard of this? If so where? Some links please if available. Thanks Oliver Fleming I can see it now: A CA or EUR boat shopper looks at a runabout. Shopper: One little thing that bothers me is that the speedometer reads in kph, rather than knots. Is there an option to get a speedometer that reads in knots? Unprofessional salesperson: Oh no. Of course not. Didn't you know that all new navigation equipment will eliminate knots as a unit of measurement and the new worldwide standard will be kph? **** Sometimes a depth sounder is appropriate in the showroom, where it has been known to get piled up pretty deep indeed. :-) |
