    Need a little help

    Got the boat off the water today, hooking everything up and see this hose hanging out… this is an 03 ProXB on an 03 Gambler 2100. Looking for a little help on what it is and what I need to do to fix. Thanks in advance.

    That’s what I was kinda thinking/hoping. I don’t know if it’s pulled off or corroded, but I’m having trouble seeing where to hook it back in. Is it an issue if it stays as is?

    your speedo won't work but not sure why even bother to put them on a boat they have never worked well.

    It won't hurt anything. I would just release the connector to remove the hose. That's the barrel thingy it has a little disk type thingy on the end if you push in on the disk toward the barrel it will allow you to remove the hose.

    Pretty simple to plug it back in (even with the gearcase already installed).
