The numbers on the Velocitek display are bigger than the Tac Tic. I'll have to take a photo for you but you could read it easily from the spin pole. Heck, you can read this thing from another boat. I was just wondering if there would be too much going on up there that it would foul lines etc. Come to think of it though, thats where the N-20 (I-20) guys mount their Tac Tics. Photo coming if I can get motivated. Ed
