On my 05 150EFI there is only one locking nuts on each side and there is two close together near the anode plate and one under it, does the two close together have to come out to drop the LU as all the instructions calls for two locking nuts on both side, these two comes up from under the cavitation plate, also can anyone tell me where the speedometer tube coupler is at to remove tube.

Yep. You will have the one in the very front. One on each side behind that. (5/8 wrench). Then the two close together behind those two(5/8 deep socket. Then the one under the anode plate(9/16 socket.
You might also have give it a few taps with a deadblow hammer to brake it loose.
Does the LU have to be dropped to get to the speedometer cable coupling, is it inside the housing?

Pitot tube coupling is on top of the gearcase, at the very front. Probably a "slip-lock" connector on your 2005 model engine.
You will need to drop the gearcase down to install this tube into the coupling (slide the tube in, then give it a light "tug" to ensure it locked in the connector).
