    Pitot sensor is no longer standard equipment on this engine.

    Simply disconnect the tube inside the cowling and plug it there.

    Anything you plug it with (that's water tight) would be acceptable.

    You could also use Part# 859747 AND Part# 859732 (Both required).

    Would these 2 same part numbers work to plug it off on a 2021 175 pro xs 4s?
