    Is this hole for water pressure?

    Is the top hole the pickup for water pressure? My gauge doesn’t work and this hole is/was clogged all the way with wood fiber.

    No,that’s the pick up or pitot for the speedo. The water pressure gauge hooks up under the cowl,usually at the rear of the engine.

    Yeah, that small single hole is the speedo pick up. They will always get clogged with wood or something so just forget about it. If you want to monitor speed use a GPS, they are way more accurate and won't get clogged with crap.
