Hey all,<br /><br />I just wanted to find out what this hose/tube is for?<br /><br />Click Here To See Photos<br /><br />Its comming fromt the lower unit toward the back, The connector that is on the end of the tube doesn't have any holes in it so its not passing any air/liquid or anything threw the hose (Atleast right now)<br /><br />I was hoping someone knew what it was for...<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />-TheChad

So there's a Speedo pickup built into the engine? So i wouldn't need to have a transom mounted speedo pickup?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />-TheChad
