Does anyone's speedo gauge work

[DAVESWIMM]

05 Yamaha VMAX 250 HPDI....175 hrs , Changed the water pump 25 hrs ago., Ive never had a speedo that works, Help

Dont worry about it. Most worthless gauge on a boat. Go by gps speed only. My speedo only works half the time and when it does read it says my ranger does 80 mph lol

[GhostComanche]

................actually mine does; really rare feat I know, but mine throughout the entire range is usually pretty much spot on with the HDS units......................go figure. ...........................RR

That would be a NO. Bought mine less than a year old and it never worked. Clock doesn't work either. Two gauges I don't look at anyway

[MD Doug]

Nope- Took mine out and replaced it with a flasher. I like the old school flashers at times and it was a perfect fit.

In my experience, they're only "accurate" up to 40mph. The only gauges I pay attention to are rpm, water psi, & trim while running.

Speedo gauges on a boat are worthless.......I Use my GPS on my Humminbirds FF.

[briansgi]

Mine never worked.

Works, but reads too high.

I wish ranger offered this as an option and not required equiptment. I am a bit anal on things working on my boat and this thing works for an outting or two and then it is plugged with wood....

Bugs the snot out of me to no end that I can't keep it working!
Oh, to answer the question...NO it does not work

[racefan]

Mine on my 2001 works not accurate but it does work

[sooner fish]

Yes, for thirty four years. I replaced the pitot five yeras ago. It reads about 2-3 miles per hour SLOW.

[RangerRumps]

mine stopped working about 15 years ago lol

[Tom Rollins]

Mine works ('98) as long as the wood and grass is removed from the pitot on the lower unit.
Inaccurate but it works.

[Ka'King]

Mine works! Only because I replaced it with the SmartCraft digital signal/analog gauge that takes a feed from my HB GPS output.

[FlFedAngler]

Mine probably would if I didn't have a drill bit broke off in the pick up hole.

[sonnydays]

took mine out and put in a radio in the hole...exact fit!!!

[Rangerhgm]

mine works.....just not accurate

Same here. Two motors and my speedo has always worked within 1 or 2 mph of GPS.

Mine too Roger....imagine that. I have the old Yamaha digital "all in one" guage (21 years old) and the speedo is accurate within 1-2 mph throughout the entire range. I don't pay much attention to it though...I'm more worried about my RPM's.
