Default No Speedometer reading from Alpha drive

My "new to me" 2005 280 Sundancer with twin merc 220 Alphas isn't giving me a speedo reading on the Smart craft gauge. I have been told by the dealer that the Smart craft settings are correct and that it must be a disconnected pickup tube connection to the drive. Sounds reasonable to me, right? My previous boat had a volvo and the pitot sensor would flip up every season when launched. Had to wait for warm water to flip it back down. Well, the water is now warm, but with the Merc drives, I don't know what to look for. Anyone ever have this problem? I'd love to know what to look for, and which drive to look for it on.

Thanks,
Mike
