I’m pretty certain that speedo started life as a regular bathing suit but for someone of 150 lbs.

Wow .... you know, reading the title I had a feeling this was going to go that way

Brent, as you've probably discovered by now the speedometer is held in place by a simple U bracket and either 1 or 2 nuts tightening it to studs on the back of the unit - pretty easy disassembly. Just don't forget to plug your pitot tube so you don't dribble water in you dash. I just pulled all the tubing from both and plugged them at the transom.

I know a lot of folks don't like the 'non-standard' look of the dash when doing the swap, but I sure like it. "Back in the day"   I can understand why the need for double speedos, but today with GPS?   Naaaa...... I'd rather clean up the dash and make better use of the space.
