Adding a Speedo to a 96 Sportster

[pcmandevon]

I added a hood from a speedster to my sportster and now I have room for gauges. I know I need the little paddle wheel mounted on the ride plate. Will a ride plate from a ski fit the boat? What do you guys recommend to add the little paddle wheel. Thank you. Devon.

No, the ride plate from a ski won't fit. On the boats, the speed sensor mounts to the rear of the hull. There is a separate support plate for sender.

Do you happen to know what it might look like? IN the parts diagram for the Challenger it looks like it has a slot in the shoe for the speedo pickup. Thanks for the help. Devon.

I would also like to see a diagram of the speedo sensor. My Speedster's speedo is missing a part and I need to determine what it is and if my base part that is still on the boat is broken or not.

I was thinking about changing my speedo to GPS instead of the paddle wheel for better acuracy. just my 2 cents thou.

I had thought about adding a GPS speedo but they are really expensive and I would need it to fit in a 2" dash hole. Most of the units on the market are only for 3 1/4".
