Why?

Don't know. Ask Donnie. I assumed that's why he bought a trim gauge.

Why wouldn't you just use speed and rpm on a little boat like that?
Can't you hear the engines and stuff?

I am going to go with Don here. It is handy while you are getting used
to your boat.

I'm not sure why Herring is getting into this in his usual snarky way,
since the boat he recently sold was only slightly larger than Don's, and
unless his third-rate dealer screwed him on that, too, that boat of his
had a trim gauge.

--------------------------------

The whole point of the original post by Don and follow up discussion was
that his boat did *not* have a trim gauge and he was considering paying
a dealer or someone to install one. He had an empty slot on his panel
and some people suggested a temperature gauge or something more
meaningful than a trim gauge might be more worthwhile.

To each his own. Don had reasons to have a trim gauge, he got one and it
is filling his stated needs. Suggestions are fine, but most of what he
got consisted of the usual snarky assholes comments.

That's true. I have a trim gauge, and I'm glad I have it.
