Just got rid of my speedo in the dash, and installed a lowrance hd-5 with "lake insight" was about $700. not only is it high def, but sonar, fuel sensors, water temp, water pressure, etc can all be displayed if you buy the additional sensors. I wanted it mainly for navigation and fuel used. I can't stand the inaccurate fuel gauges that rock.

You can download the template at lowrance website. It is a pdf that is actual size that you can cut out and see if it fits. I was about to buy a gps speedo to replace the water pressure speedo. By the time you purchase the gps speedo head and the receiver you are at $500. Don't know if you know it are not, but look for a gps unit with NEMA output. The NEMA output off of the gps can provide the speed to a gps speedo head unit (will save you from buying a $250 receiver, would just need the speedo headunit AND the chartplotter). Also, I like that ladder on your trailer. bet that comes in handy. Like to have ones on the side and the front.
