Speedometer not working on Bravo 1
Hey guys Ive got a 22" Eliminator with a bravo one drive last time I had the boat out the speedo got stuck at 30 MPH. The next day I disconnected the hose from the back of the speedo which caused it to return to 0 MPH I looked at the pitot tube and the hose connected to it and saw nothing visably wrong, however I did try to blow through the hose that connects to the speedo from the speedo end and could not do so as if there were a blockage. When I put it back together and took the boat out the speedo didn't move. Any ideas, my guess is a blockage somewhere in the line but its a pretty small line and Im unsure of its routing or if anything even could get stuck in there. Thanks in advance for any help.

I found what I believe is the speedo pick up on the drive, small yellowish barbed plastic tube on the lower case near the transom and if thats it its intact.

There is a hole on the bottom half of the drive in the middle. It will be clogged, I boat alot in the river and don't even bother cleaning it out anymore. You can try a small drill bit turning it with your fingers. When I got wood plugged in mine I used a drill.
