Speedometer Water Tube Maintenance
The pitot tube should be flushed with fresh water before storing the boat for prolonged periods. Any
remaining water in the rubber hose should also be removed before storing the boat for prolonged periods.
If the pitot tube or rubber hose should become clogged:
1. Disconnect the rubber hose from the speedometer and the pitot tube.
2. Clean the rubber hose with a stiff wire or blow air through it.
Do not blow air through the rubber hose when it is connected to the speedometer. High air pressure will
damage the speedometer.
3. Flush and clean the pitot tube with fresh water. If necessary, clean the pitot tube opening with a stiff wire.
4. Reconnect the rubber hose to the speedometer and secure with a new cable tie.
5. Reconnect the rubber hose to the pitot tube nipple end and secure with a new cable tie.
WATER PRESSURE GAUGE RUBBER HOSE INSTALLATION
1. After installing the water pressure gauge in
the dash, connect the rubber hose to the
back of the cable tie.
2. Route the rubber hose back to the motor
alongside the control cables.
Avoid sharp turns, crimping, kinking, or
other forces that June reduce the inside
diameter of the hose.
Do not coil any excess hose. Cut hose to
the desired length.
3. Fasten the rubber hose at regular intervals
with small plastic cable ties (be careful to
not pinch the hose).
