Speedo Repair?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I had questions about my speedo on another post, but I found out what was up. Turns out the right pitot goes to the left speedo and vice versa. I just assumed that the left pitot would have gone to the left speedo...silly me :) When I finally looked @ the right pitot, the plastic barb is broke off and inside the tube.

looks like I can buy a new pitot and tube @ skidim, but my other tube has been spliced w/a small plastic piece so they didn't need to re-run the entire tube. Any idea what that piece is exactly and where I might be able to get one?

Thanx,

Dank

	I don't think it should be that way. What year of boat do you have? Left should be to left and right should be to right.

	I know this is an old post but I thought I'd reply anyhow... My 78 Nautique is Left to Right and Right to Left. Been that way all it's life.

	My take is that it does not matter. My guess is that when CC built the boats, they just grabbed a speedo line and connected it to a speedo without bothering to determine which was which.
