And DS, i think it has some thing to do about ramming the trim... or do they call it the trim ram?

Thanks everyone. That's exactly what I was looking for. Kirk, Pantera came with a GPS Speedo. Thanks again.

Its a slip indicator, not just a GPS Speedo. Tells you your actual slip while you are running.

Kirk, lots of slip when running trim is a good thing, no?

Trim it until it lauches the bow, then tuck it under a click.

Seriously, I trim my boat by feel and speed. The only time I ever use my drive indicator is when I am testing props to see the difference in needed trim between props. I do glance at my tab indicators though to make sure I am in the "safe" zone.
