  I thought so. I can unclog one drive but the other won't give. Stuck drill bit all the way in and compressed air wont blow through

  Ye most of the time it’s on the drive side.
  when i had drives serviced they cleaned out the passage.
  if you go into sandy areas your chances are pretty good to clog it within the same season.
  i just use my gps actually.
  if I see accurate mph I know how my boat is performing. In other words I know where I need to be to plane and cruise and that changes With load but mph needs to stay the same.

  You can always get a digital gps one and forget about the speedo tube forever

  yes starboard side is the one. when my drives were of last winter I soaked them for days to get it cleaned out. thin piece of wire going down from the top did the trick. shop vac got more out then compressor.
