speedo not working
 
Any ideas how to try and fix? bravo ones.

Usually there is a rubber hose that popped off. Take a look around your drive.

The speedo pick up on the leading edge of the lower unit is probably plugged. Its a little notch about 4" above the bullet. The actual pick up tube could be connected to either drive.

That was always my problem. Take the smallest drill bit you have and start w that. prob some wood in there.

LEAVE IT PLUGGED, MAKES THE BOAT FASTER:party-smiley-004:

Pickup tube is either plugged or cracked, and may need replacing. I had the same problem, mine was cracked, and had to splice the hose and refit together with hose barb.

I agree with griff. Proabably some wood in the pitote hole.

My speedo didn't work for me either....
So I switched to boxers:evilb:

If the little rubber hose didn't pop off as Phantom Chaos advised then I would do as Griff suggested. I had the same issue last year and corrected it by pulling the drive and using a long thin drill bit to clear debris from the lower unit speedo pickup and it's vertical capilary where the rubber hose connects... problem solved!
