Last season boat always did leak a little water in...figured I would fix when I rebuilt...
Rebuilt engine..new gimble..new u-joints..new bellows..new raw water hose...
Boat runs great..but still had water coming in..but only at speed...never when docked...could set for 2 weeks and no water...just like last season...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Ok..had wife get boat up on plane..with me all contorted in painfull manner looking at any place water could be coming in...seen a small spray coming from above the gimble bearing... eek! ...
But all is good..it was just the speedo tube..it had a small tear right at the nipple..that allowed water to spray..cut 1/2 inch of tube off...slid back on nipple...and hot damn...no more water...
So I figured I might not be the only one to have this problem...and it might help some others

Similar situation here. Only one of my buds did it to me.
We were at powell and I had inavertantly washed him down with my rooster when I passed him.
His get back was to pull the speedo tube off the back of the speedo and tape it to the underside of the dash so that when I came on plane it sprayed me.
ahhhh...LOL.. devil
