i need to run a pickup for my speedo and this boat has never had one installed on it. i would rather not drill holes in the transom and put a nasty plastic pitot on it and the only other option is a stepped hull pickup. i was wondering how good these are and if it is worth putting on. i would install a pitot on the transom if i could find a nice billet or stainless one.

Which enine and gearcase are you running? Some gearcases have the speedo pickup built into them and the hose to connect to is capped from the factory.

i'm assuming the race leg because i was at the mercury dealer here and they told me that and i looked and it does not have the spot they showed me on every leg. my leg is alot slimmer profile than all the others i have seen so i guess its gps or goofy pitot
