Default Speedo Stopped working???

Took my 27 Fever out last night and the speedo wasn't working. Are there any quick things I should try to fix it before digging deeper. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Is it a GPS model or a Pitot tube one?

If its GPS the antenna is probably not working. I had to replace mine after 5 years.

You could have just replaced the battery instead. Impossible according to Livorsi, but then again, what do they know...?

And if it's pitot it's clogged. Small hole on leading edge of the outdrive. Take a small drill bit by hand to try and work it loose. Don't cram anything in there too far.

If you have a Livorsi GPS unit, then here is the option from Livorsi:

My antenna battery died on mine after 5 years and I chose to bypass the antenna puck and plug the speedo directly into my GPS/Chartplotter.

Good luck.
