1999 Sport. Both spedo’s are not working at all. I removed the dash, blew air through the lines and heard some good bubbling at the rear of the boat so I thought I was fine. Spedo’s still did work so I attempted to push a wire down the rubber hose, maybe made 16 inches on one hose and 20 on the other. The wire is decent gauage (pet fence wire). Any idea??

Have you tried disconnecting at the dash and at the pitot to see if you can blow air thru w/o obstruction? Perhaps your pitot has trash in it?

Thanks for the idea but I did disconnect at the dash and at the pitot and was able to blow air thru w/o obstruction. Maybe both gauges went bad at the same time - hard to beleive - the boat is docked and I plan on pulling out the water this weekend so I can take a better look

Have you tried to gently blow air directly into the back of the speedos to see if the needles move?
Also make sure the tubing running between speedos and pitot dont have a hole or crack in it. |

Are these those digital teleflex ones? Could be an entirely different issue.
