Better yet, completely remove it.
It's a new option! A cockpit shower!
Hydration station.
One thing to note, the GPS speedo should be LED back lit and will not dim if you use that feature

Any pictures of the instrument cluster after the speedometer install? I’m curious how well the new speedometer matches the original gauges.
I'll try to get a photo soon.
How much would this cost me if I wanted to upgrade the twin of your boat?
I don't understand the question.

How much would it cost me to put in a GPS speedometer in my 2007 240?

Amazon carries them. Looks like $95. There are a lot to chose from.

Dang it. I had no idea that the GPS speedometers were priced so reasonably. For some reason I had thought they were $300 or $400. Now I don’t have an excuse not to upgrade. It sure would be nice to see the true speed below 20 mph.
Maybe the new GPS speedometer won’t match well with the existing gauges and I can find a new excuse? We need pictures!

Just a quick thanks for this post! My Starboard tach was all over the place, I got in behind the dash this past weekend to turn the pole setting dial as advised above which i did and discovered that the tach was also set incorrectly. Turned it back and forth a couple times then set it correctly and my problem is fixed! Also swapped out all my gauge lights to LED and the whole thing looks and functions perfect. Thanks again, its the things like this that really is the value of these forums!
Also quick note on the Faria Tach;
1 = 4 CYL
2 = 6 CYL
3 = 8 CYL
