Spontaneous leak from Bravo 1 transom assembly speedometer nipple
The unused nipple, I have gps, on the engine compartment side literally just started flowing a steady stream of water into the bilge. Thoughts? Solutions?

Thanks. I'll give it a go.
I'm just at a loss how it opened up. My undestanding is this connection is supposed to be fail safe. Meaning it doesn't allow flow when unused. The Bravo 1 HD assembly is maybe two years old. Here are some pics, if links work.

Can't find anything in the bilge. Do you have a picture or possible even a link where I could get a cap for the nipple?
Having trouble getting the nipple off. It is recessed enough I can't get a wrench on it. Does anybody possibly know the size socket that would be needed to get the nipple off in order to install the pipe cap, as suggested above?

An 1/8 NPT should be 7/16
To find the pipe plug to seal it off, just go to any hardware store and ask for an 1/8 NPT brass pipe plug. Don't know where your at but here is one on ebay
