The only ones I have come across go up to 70 mph. I really would like and exact replacement of up to 45 mph. http://www.flickr.com/photos/45988259...498836712/

It connects to the stern of the boat via a rubber tube to this: http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/...yErrorView Robin Chaplin 1972 13 Sport - 1994 25hp Mercury It was my Dad's, now it's Mine, one day I'll pass it down, 'til then it's Happy Whalering.

Many motors have a opening in the forward edge of the gear case that connects to a tube. This tube exits the mid-case and would travel up to the speedometer. The pressure of the water is what is used to operate the gauge.

Do all your gauges match in brand and style. The gauge you show is an OMC in the "Traditional Series" which is no longer available new. http://www.whalercentral.com/articles...icle_id=43 A speedometer these days is basically useless as most fishfinders and GPS units already have them built-in. However, I already had the hole for a speedometer so I put a speedometer back in. All my gauges are OMC "Tech Series" as I have an OMC Evinrude motor. http://www.whalercentral.com/images/a...nts_t1.jpg

I purchased a new Yamaha analog tachometer to put in a hole that is already there with a blank in it. I just purchased the used OMC speedometer Robin posted link to above on Ebay ($20). My dash looks like a train wreck right now but in a week or two it should look new. Edited by seanwilmnc on 02/22/13 - 5:56 PM
