Hi Cameron,
I may be wrong (MikeyT will let us all know this) but the picture attached will show you where mine is located - this ISNT my bravo leg by the way.

Hi CameronBrian2120,

Here are a couple of pictures of our outdrive to help you locate the intake and tubing. Now this is a Bravo III but if you have the Alpha Gen II then they are fundamentally the same.

The pencil tip is stuck in the very small Speedometer intake hole. Another place to look for a possible problem is where indykoch was referring to, at the plastic connector for the outdrive to transom assembly tubing (we found ours disconnected when we bought her).

Here's a photo of the speedometer tubing and connector at the outdrive indykoch was saying to check. Yours should be a twist connector, make sure it's firmly coupled.

Here is a picture for you I got out of my manual. I hope this helps. I would also check to see if your pilot tube is diconnected in the out drive. I just found mine to be diconnected last night. Another member directed me to it. I never new it was there. It is located in the center of the outdrive just above the hydrolic trim cylinders towards the boat. You can put your hand it there and reconnect it if it came off. You can look through the opening with a flashlight and see if it is off also. Good luck.
Let me know how you made out.

I tried to send you a picture but it was to big and I don't know how to change it so if you Email me at [email protected] I can send you a picture that way.

Hmmmm somehow that sterndrive seems ... familiar ....:rolleyes:


:D

And his is in better shape than mine is.... :shakehead:

We will have to start bribing that WetWilly guy a bit more... :rolleyes:

I would like to get that gouge on the rear portion of my skeg fixed up. Downside is, once it goes into water, it is in there till September.

If I could find a used and not abused trailer for somewhat cheap-ish, I would consider it. That way it doesnt have to be offloaded onto blocks each season.

I know this is an old thread but I have some questions as we are going to the lake today. I found the plastic thing on the outdrive and where it takes the waters in. If I disconnect the plastic thing (it is white and is a 1/4 turn lock, and induce air from the plastic/hose and blow the crap out (hopeing it is between the inlet and plugs, I won't hurt anything will I? So if there was crap in the line it would come out where the inlet is. Just don't want to hurt anything. I have the 5.0L V8 Alpha one. Thanks guys and hope all goes good. Also does the fish well AKA beer cooler have a drain in it correct? Do you just screw/unscrew it to drain it. Hardly go fishing so this would make a very good cooler haha. Thanks guys, lets get boating cause the end is near our season!!!!:(:(:(:(

Re: Replacement Boat Guages?!
 

Thanks for all the comments here, just picked up my 1999 212 Shabah and the only thing that isn't working is the speedo...I will try all of the suggested trouble shooting tips tomorrow!

Re: Replacement Boat Guages?!
 

How accessible is the conection of the hose to the transom assembly? I ran new tubing from the speedo to the interior side of the transom but can`t seem to see the exterior connection. For the time being I have just used a butt connector but given the condition of the old hose, I`d much rather run new tubing all around.

Thanks
