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.

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.
