Getting at my Gauges?

[l008com]

So my boat has two gauge spots. One has my speedometer in it, the other is blank. When you look at the back, it has a yellow (was probably white 25 years ago) cup, and a metal "U" plate. I can't tell what's holding what on? I need to get the black plastic cover out, but the gauge is a 2.25" so I need to cut a hole in it, then reattach. The depth gauges I believe are pretty deep, so the whole cup will have to go. But I looked around under there for a while before I took the following pictures, and I couldn't see how it's all held together.

The u-shaped bracket holds it in. Remove that and the gauge will lift out from the front.

I realized that after I posted, after staring at my pictures for a long time :-D

Why stand on your head to do this. Remove the entire panel and work on it in your shop. There are four screws (one in each corner).
