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...? :lolhit:

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.
