Kwik_uk Active Member Jun 10, 2019 #4 How about something along these lines? Auto Meter® - Marine Silver In-Dash Mount GPS Speedometer Gauge I had one like this (different manufacturer) in my boat. Sadly it failed and I went back using a regular Quicksilver Mercury one. Or there’s a Chinese special if you’re willing to risk it. I see these all the time on eBay, but I’ve never seen one in action before. As an example is this: Online Shop 60mm 12V / 24V GPS Digital Speedometer Odometer Gauge Car Motorcycle ATV Marine Boat Truck+Mounting Bracket motorbike Accessory | Aliexpress Mobile However most on eBay follow this general theme. On my SeaDoo GTi I just use a stock Bombardier unit and that’s been plenty good enough for me. It does read with a slight inaccuracy, but is enough to see if you’re doing the limit on rivers or in no-wake zones

B Biorcm New Member Jun 10, 2019 #5 Does the stock Bombadier unit come with a speed sensor, or is it a separate device?
Kwik_uk Active Member Jun 10, 2019 #6 I believe it’s driven by a little wheel, as opposed to GPS or pito-pressure like some outboards.

Separate pieces, and not all that cheap, either. GPS speedo prices have come down remarkably and are accurate, less complex to install, etc..
