Thanks for the info and ideas. I think if I can buy a good 5" speedo on ebay, I will. Then take this one off and work on it,, and if I don't bust it,, I'll have a backup. Kevin
Good idea Kevin. I've seen what appear to be 5" black ones which protrude from the dash come up pretty often. But I like yours a lot better. I think you might just find the black face plate from the ones described above will fit straight into the speedo you have. It would look great if it worked.
I think this is about the right vintage for your boat on e-bay. It looks like a 5 inch, but you might ask: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Boat-Pa ... 06.c0.m245 jim
My boat came equipped with the chrome 5 inch with the black face. I replaced them with new 5 inch black with the black face. I think Daniel still has the chrome with black face. jim
