Re: Ran Yamaha F115 into sand bar, Speedo don't work
OK now I am stumped. The hole that I am assumming is the pitot hole is on the right side of the lower unit (me facing the bow) and has a small groove leading to it. There does not appear to be wnything in the hole, I can run a pipe cleaner up this hole with no obstruction. I disconnected teh hose leading to the speedo at the junction of the lower unit. I can blow into the hose leading to the speedo and the needle moves. I can lso run a pipe cleaner down the hose towards the lower unit. It hangs up slightly after about two inches where I belive there is another fitting. I can work the pipe cleaner though this tight spot and then push it its full lenth without obstruction. If I hook water up to the engine flushing system water comes out the lower hole. But I can not make water run down through the hole, I even rigged up an adapter to hook the hose directly to the garden hose and not one drop of water woudl come out the lower hole. I tried working a drill bit in the hose downward but it hit the tight spot I turned it slightlyh and got some black plastic which makes me assume this is another fitting. Frustrating that I can work the pie cleaners in so far form each end but no water. Any chance I have the wrong hole or is there a check valve or sometihing in the line?
