Speedos Clogg a lot.

I've only had my new 94 Nautique out a few times; the weather is cold here now. When I first put it in the water one speedo was clogged and not working at all and the other was functioning with some delay. After running for a while in very clear water they both started working. Then I took it to the lake we usually ski and they both stopped working with in a few seconds of being in the water. This second lake is a little foggy, but not bad. The speedo on my 79 Tique has never clogged in either lake or any lake for that matter.

I know the previous owner ran the boat in pretty dirty water. Could their be some build up in the speedos? Any good cleaning methods?

I have problems on certain days in the fall...little leaves in the water! The pitots clear every hard turn and then pick up more crap as soon as we throttle up. Last week it was hard to make a run with out both clogging, clearing,clogging etc...water looked good until I noticed very small leaves just under the surface...this week no prob.

The replacements they have at skidim, overtons, or many CC dealers are much better about not clogging. They don't look exactly the same, but are a much better design from a functionality standpoint. I need to put mine on this weekend as my original airguide pickup has been picking up a lot of junk.

Oh east tx, nice boat by the way I like those colors. I'll post some pics of my 94 next spring when the snow melts off of it. You can see my 79 at the link below if you want.

Yes, like Tim mentioned, I'm talking about the $13 pickups like they have at skidim. You have to drill two holes in the pickup to make it fit the hole pattern of the original airguide part, but after that, I just dip the screws in 3M 5200 and reset. I had one on my old MC and I never had to unclog it in the year I had it on there. I put the original airguide back on there before I sold it, so I'll put the replacement on the SN in the next day or so.

Thanks for the compliments on my new-to-me ride.   I'll be off to check out your 79 after I click the "post" button. And I look forward to the pictures of your thawed out 94 come spring!

/edit. What a beauty! From the pictures, your 79 looks brand new!
