    Speedometer and Pitot Tube

    336535--top.jpgAm looking to replace the pitot tube on my Johnson 175hp VJ175GLENC and I bought the pitot nipple that was broken on my outboard but now when replacing it's at a weird angle where the hose connects and looks like it'll break very easily. I'll attach a photo of the nipple I'm replacing. My question is, am I doing it right by attaching the tube that comes from the gauge to this nipple?

    The elbow should pivot in the fitting but you might need to shorten or lengthen the tubing to get a good fit.
