Where's my Pitot Tube?
The speedometer on my 1999 Sea Ray 210 BR is not working and I've been told the pitot tube opening may need to be un-clogged. I understand it's suppose to be on the transom near the outdrive, and I've seen black pitot tubes on other boats running down the transom to just below the water line. I've put on my snorkel and facemask and looked for it for quite a while but it's alluding me so far. My boat doesn't seem to have a tube running down the transom like I've seen on these other boats. Does anyone know where it is on my boat?

Pitot Tube
If you have a Mercruiser Alpha Outdrive, the speed sensor is located within the out drive and won't be visible. The sensor hole is located in the leading edge of the out drive just above the nose of the gear train. This inlet hole is for water pressure to provide input as to speed. Clean out this hole carefully with a 1/8 inch drill bit--hand twist only.

I sent you a private mesage to maybe get a bit more detail from you. |

It's "a" in the image above. The problem may also be cause by a loose speedometer hose connection on the drive. It's near the front, just above the ventilation plate. http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...IxiVJyR6is6fnw |
I don't show an image above, only an x.

Found It
PHDIII's location of my pitot tube was spot on. I cleaned it out with the drill bit by hand as PHDIII suggested and the speedometer now works fine. Went for a test drive this afternoon. Also, thanks for the picture Dave R. The image was very helpful. That hole is small and hard to find.

Browser?
I am seeing the picture (using Firefox).
Regardless- glad your speedo is up and running again Geneva |

Yes- an image of the top of the drive and a second of the top of the drive with a pair of hands showing what to do with the pitot.

I see two images..L & R ..maybe in the same frame...L & R. An artists simple rendition..which works for me...technically.. However: There is also a relatively large stand alone RED X above..but that X is NOT in a box...which is the usual case when you can't bring up a picture. :look: NB

You are not seeing an undisplayable image indicator, you are seeing a perfectly displayed image of a red X. :) |
