COG tells you where you are going and where you have been. Much different from where the boat is pointing.Quote:

The COG reading tells you "How many degrees from Due North" your boat is traveling ...
*COG 0° = boat is traveling Due North
*COG 90° = boat is traveling Due East
*COG 180° = boat is traveling Due South
*COG 270° = boat is traveling Due West

A radical example is if you were doing a controlled drift on a river system with the boat pointing upstream. The COG would be your course downstream.
So does COG come into play ,when I mark what I think is a nice Tree pallet bed ,not a ball of shad ...an then go go back an cannot find anything...Been reading forum .Pretty good at marking an sinking structure.But sometimes I cant find nothing .First post Snipey
No.....That would be a different thing altogether....... Maybe start a thread about this.
Jokes aside, I did not know that. If I ever venture out into the salt, this could come in handy. Thanks Rickie! :ThumbsUp
Welcome to the site snipey!! There are many reasons why something like this happens, and you should post this as a separate thread, so your answers don't hijack this thread.Quote:
