Your gps will be absolutely accurate (within 0.10 mph)
Your boat speedo will be +/- 10% usually but some are worse than that.
The boat speedo is just a hit/miss on being right. At some speed they are
usually right but all other speeds they will be off.

Just curious as to the accuracy between the two.
The speedometer in my boat is a standard speedo nothing special, the
GPS is a Hummingbird Matrix 25 which I just got a week or two ago.
After a few outings I noticed that there is at times a considerable
difference
between the two and other times they seem spot on. Can't quite figure

that
one out. Would a head current account for the boats speedometer to appear
at a higher MPH than the GPS?
