jjones2 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2003 Well Monty your liquid filled speedo is right on at 98mph...That's the number you can expect usuing a GPS turning that prop 7200...anyway that's what my prop calc indicates..I'm running a 97 Mariner that's stock but it turns a 30 cleaver at 7400 and that's good enough for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montystv 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2003 sounds good jjones thanks and your correct i've checked on the prop cal too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonySS 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2003 GUYS, I find the Gaff speedos to be very accuarate when comparing to GPS. The 120 mph unit which I ran was calibrated at 100 mph. So it was most accurate at speeds close to 100. The one time I verified by GPS it was only 1 mph optimistic...that was good enuff for me!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STV_Keith 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2003 The Gaffrig in my boat (Anthonys old boat) seems to read 5mph high from 30-75mph. At 95, it's only 3 high. I'm swapping to a Gaffrig GPS speedo this time around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
