LOL Don't know...never had mine connected up to the speedometer. I always use my GPS. I had a similar setup on a few of my old boats, they were aftermarket units...I think they were made by aquameter. Seemed ok at slower speeds, but didn't seem to be all that accurate at high speeds. Still, it was better than nothing.

speedo tube , to me, is more useless than the trim gauge. takes up a 4.25" hole. most just let them run out of the hole on the midsection and cap. to me the most vital gauges are the volt & water pressure, then tach & hourmeter. speedo, trim & gas are a waste of space.

Phat keep in mind i am converting to a center console. I have a blank console to start with. I wont know how much room i have for gauges until my control gets here. But i think i have more than enough room for what gauges i want.

just remember, if you boating in salt water, a speedo or water pressure gauge can be a possible leak of spraying salt water on the back of your dash
