    speedometer replacement ???

    My speedometer is acting up, it showed 35mph when I know I'm doing at least 45-50mph, no engine probs. at all. Is there a way to pressure test it? The tab on the stern looks to be original and maybe worn can I replace just that? Any advice would help Thanks ...Pat

    I think it time to replace speedometer unit.

    How hard is it to replace, some times it only registers 35mph just started 2 days ago, I know I am pushing 45-50 mph. I would like to replace with original bayliner products.
