Location: Wausau | This last weekend I noticed that my speedometer on my 2005 Crestliner Fish Hawk is not working. I am not sure if there is a quick fix or not for this problem. I really don't want to take it in to get fixed at a shop as I don't care how fast it says I am going, it is about 8 mph off from my GPS anyway, I just prefer to have everything in working condition on my boat. Anybody had this problem or know an easy fix for it?
Thanks in advance

| Probably hit a piece of wood, and plugged the pitot tube. It's a little hole in the front of the lower unit. A small drill bit, or a piece of wire will help get the obstruction out. |

| If you've been running through some shallow weeds they will also clog up that intake tube. The weeds were very heavy in my lake this year and I noticed the speed-o-meter stopped working at various times due to the motor picking up some of the weed growth.

| The speedo on yer boat and GPS will never be the same. The GPS is most accurate.
I also have a Crestliner, the speedo has nothing to do with the boat, it's the engine. My speedo wasnt working (115 opti) the hollow tube that plugs at the front of the motor, and I am guessing sends the reading to yer speedo, got pinched when trimming. Fortunately there was enough slack I could just cut it and put it back on. |
