quote Buccaneer:
I’ve never seen an outboard with a “Knot Meter”.
Were they unique to Firestone outboards, or Yes
did other brands have them? Not that I know of
Were they mechanical with a cable and water wheel,
or have a pressure tube, etc.? Pretty sure it was a pitot tube, but really don’t remember how it was rigged

Here’s a 16 hp Firestone on EBay with one.
Looks kind of neat.
