Hi Shawn, Did you buy the boat? Tip: before hauling the boat, replace the speedo paddlewheel with the plug. Another tip: keep these two tethered together and only insert the paddlewheel when you go sailing, and replace the plug when you get back to the dock. That way, you'll never have to clean the paddlewheel. Newer model speedos have a checkvalve in the thruhull that reduces the water ingress considerably.
To answer your question: It's not urgent to replace the speedo. You can substitute GPS speed, but eventually you will want one and I'd replace the whole package as a bundled kit on sale.
