Question Most USELESS thing on your boat

Hands down, no competition, and something that I find a TOTAL waste of space, money and provides no redeeming angler value - the analog speedometer.

I've had 4 boats and the one thing that didn't perform it's function very long was the speedometer, even the one on my only brand spankin' new boat didn't work after the first year. They are not accurate, and they cease working usually due to a clogged tube. Yes you can clean them out, but it is a PITA and the speedometer really is a dinosaur that's time has come to be allowed to quietly slip into extinction.

Today, with GPS very affordable and found as a non-deletable half of most sonar units, it's time for boat manufacturers to eliminate that useless POS and devote the dash space to other gauges, larger easier to read gauges, or better yet one digital display to replace the analog style gauges necessary for the operation of the outboard.

It's time for demonstrations on the water, marches on Flippin, AR. and Murfeesboro, TN. Abolish the speedometer - NOW. Sorry, got carried away, I think it's time for my Prozac........................
