Topic: Speedometer Dripping

Speedometer Dripping

While cruising across Broken Bow lake last Friday, my speedometer quit working and started dripping a lot of water from under the console. It drips (runs) when going over about 20 mph. Im not sure where it is leaking but it feels like the speedometer itself. I cant look while driving and that is the only time it leaks.1. Is there a quick easy fix?2. Does this need to go back to the dealer? And if so, can I use any Bass Cat dealer as I believe there is a new dealer in Coweta, OK, that is much closer than Waymack in Arkansas where I bought the boat.3. If it has to go back to a dealer, is there something I can do to stop the leak until I can get the speedometer fixed (I am supposed to be on Table Rock Thursday.)?4. Any chance this is covered by warranty? I bought the boat 13 Months ago. It is an 06 Sabre (SN: BASU6366B606)with a 150 HP XR6 (SN: 1B192002).Thanks in advance for any help. Everything else works and I can live without the speedo for awhile as I still have GPS, but my legs and carpet get soaked.

It is the hose that connects to the back of the gauge. Cut a small piece off of it and heat it. Then stick it back on and tie it down with a clamp — I hear BCB has a new clamp that will work better and Im sure theyll send it to you.For a quick fix you can bend the hose and tie it down with a strap — this will keep you dry in a pinch.

Thanks John. My carpet was dry this evening and I crawled under the console and sure enough the hose was off. Hopefully Bass Cat will see this post and if they have a better clamp will get one for me. I hope when the hose is back on the speedo works again.

MBJ,Your speedo should be just fine once you re-attach the tube.
