i have a bravo one outdrive and my speedo quit working, i followed the vac hose from the speedo back to the outdrive, i disconnected the vac hose from the outdrive and blew air into and it moved the speedo, has anyone had this problem before, could my outdrive be clogged or something? thanks for the help

The pick up hole is clogged on the drive. Happens all the time. The pickup hole is a little notch on the leading edge of the lower unit, about halfway between the cav plate and bullet. Just take a very small drill bit and twist it into the hole with your fingers to get the debris out.

i looked on the outdrive and cant find the pickup hole, does anyone have any pictures, thanks

The red arrow is the speedo pickup location. They usually get plugged with a peice of wood.

thanks for the help

there worthless, get a gps then you will now your real speed which is always 3 to 5 mph slower than the speedo art

A problem I had with mine (Bravo I) is there is a small rubber hose in the drive that had blown apart. I had the boat pulled and was having a drive serivce/alignment done when they checked the hose. The tube from the speedo to the drive was fine and so was the pick-up but it was the small hose with the bend in it in the drive.

Thanks! i've been looking for that hole seems forever. Plugged full of stuff.
