  • 99 SLX Speedo tube lying in bottom of ski

    I have a 99 SLX that the speedometer hose is just lying in the bottom and water is coming in. Speedo worked up to this weekend.
    How does the hose hook up? Does it push over a nipple? Mine does not seem to have a nipple there, so is it broken off? No part in the end of the hose.
    Or does the nylon nut and washer that holds the pedo in place hold the
    hose in?
    Help would be appreciated.
    Trying to figure out if I need to by a new pedo
    part.

    The plastic fin that goes thru the hull just before the intake grate has (or at least should have) a nipple on it that the hose goes on. Usually a ziptie holds the hose onto the nipple.

    If no nipple, then yours is broken and you need to replace it. Not very expensive, but just a slight PITA to get to since it's under the driveshaft.

      Thanks for the response.
      That is what I thought, but I did not want to order part if I did not need it.
      Diagram on www.partsland.com showed a zip tie in this area but could not tell for sure what it was used for.

      Thanks again......
