2000 Sport Nautique Speedometer

[dwp]

Could anyone advise as to how to start to replace the pickup (Pitot) tubing from the outside of my 2000 Sport, to the speedometer and what may be involved? I can see so far that it looks like the ballast tanks need to be removed, but what about the "equalizer" I have been reading about?

Can anyone provide me with some insight??

Thanks,

2000 Sport Nautique Speedometer

Well, after further research I have found that I have a digital Speedometer, which has a "thru-hull" paddle wheel assembly. Now my question is: what should I look at to see why it is not working? Because it is not. Do these need to be cleaned every so often or are they prone to electrical shorts? I do require a speedometer.

Please send help!

Thanks,

Did you ever get a solution on this?

Hi, Yes I did, I bought a Faria GPS Spedo after replacing the Paddle wheel sending unit three times. I think I finally nailed it down to the Pot (volume switch adjuster under the dash, it was bad). I have sold both my Correct Crafts, unfortunately (Momma no like the rear facing seat) and got a 2006 Bryant OB 219, great boat also, but not a Nautique.
I had a bad spedo in the Bryant also, changed that to a Faria GPS and never looked back.

Peace,
