Hey guys, Went out today and found some floating trash while I was up and running. Speedo is stuck at 40mph. I picked out all the wood I could out of the inlet hole in the lower unit with a dental pick. This has happened before and usually I just wait till it's in for service for the techs to clear it.

So how do they do it? Something about blowing it out backwards and pulling it out when it unclogs. Does someone know the right way to do this? I've heard others using drill bits . etc. The only thing I'm sticking in there is that dental pick or a paperclip. Lowers are expensive to screw up! FYI -2003 225 HPDI , THANKS JIM
