the speedometer pickup on my boat's transom is broken. the speedometer cable is okay it seems, but the nipple that the cable goes over on the pickup is broken and stuck in the cable. <br /><br />I plan on replacing the pickup with one from iboats.com website, and i was wondering if i removed the broken nipple piece from the cable, the cable should be in working order, correct? <br /><br />also, is there a special caulk i should use around the pickup to keep water outta the boat? I am dying to see how fast my boat goes !!!!!

Re: replace speedometer pickup

Yup! If you pull the old nipple out or cut the end off if ya can then yer good ta go!<br /><br />Put a little 3M 5200 adhesive/sealant on the screw threads.. That'll seal it up...
