I tried that for a day or two, but it just didnt work anymore. and with the LOTO water patrol, I need to make sure Im doing exactlly 30 at night. so a working speedo is a must.



I spoke with Livorsi this morning. packed up the guage and antenna. Shipping it off now. should know something in a day or so.

Odd that both of ours went out at the same time. What year is your boat?
Also keep an eye on your credit card. I just checked and they authorized $125 on mine. obviously it hasnt posted yet, but not sure why they would authorize that much when its only $75 for the repair.

Mine was just held in place with clear silicone.
before you send it back in, check to see if you can replace the battery in the antenna. It was mentioned on another site,the battery is usually what causes the problem. Wish I would have known that before i sent it back in.

Why would they put a battery in the antenna? That seems like a wierd place to put a battery.
