Speedo Replacement - PrecisionStar??
Well, my pitot tubes are leaking at the transom where they enter the boat. I've been wanting to upgrade to some form of GPS speedo for some time so now seems like a good opportunity. So I've got some questions for my fellow MC'ers:
1 - What is the best way to seal up the 2 holes at the transom where the pitot tubes used to enter the boat? 2 - Anybody have the precision star GPS speedo sold by PerfectPass? 3 - Should I just go ahead and upgrade to PP Stargazer 3-event? 4 - What should I do with the other OEM speedo that will still be in the dash but not used? My MCOCD won't like a guage sitting there that doesn't work! |
I'd install PP Stargazer and then run a new tube and Pitot Pickup to the remaining Speedo if that's not working well now. I just re-sealed mine with some clear silicone.
In fact, I used one of the holes for my temp sensor for the lake water. |
1. 3M 5200 sealant.
2. Not I. 3. Yes. 4. Is the pickup the issue or is it the ballast tube that's the problem. If the former, just buy a replacement pickup and enjoy. I like a good analog speedo to compliment SG. Especially useful in river current. |
Could do the whole nine yards and replace the insides with Classic Boatworks GPS conversions.

This folds down so you don't accidentally snap your old one off while walking behind the boat in the garage.....:rolleyes: http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=769B |

Which temp sensor do you have? I would like to install a stand alone temp sensor and I like your idea of using one of the pitot tube holes for this purpose. |
