    Speedo Not working

    I have an 03' 200 H.O. I want to get speedometer working again, Hose is fine, it has a little wood way down inside the hole on lower unit. I did the drill bit thing about 2" deep, its still clogged up what else can I do to help break up the wood that is way down inside. Blowed air into it where the hose comes into motor. Can I put a little acid in a syringe and squirt in there to break loose wood. any ideas.

    The pickup chamber is only about 1.5" deep. Go too far and you'll be into the LU. Pull the nipple out for the speedo tube and blow back through there.

    Just gonna plug again anyway. Best bet would to be to install a pitot on the transom if you want a speedo.
