I had several diff. depth sounders over 17 years on my rig. all with newly drilled holes to line up the mounting brackets with all past holes no longer needed plugged with JB weld.
never had any issues you could also JB weld your speedo bracket with no holes at all. it should hold fine
if you go with screws install your speedo bracket with silicone
