'08 Mercury 150 Optimax. Recently bumped a log and filled the speedometer p/u in the foot with soft wood. Have dug out enough to make a box of toothpicks but still not working. What would the next step be to clear the obstruction??

Tks, Mike

Welcome aboard

Remove the entire lower unit and clear the tube from both ends.

Re: Speedometer help

I don't have a speedo, but my newer L/U came with the fitting that goes upwards. Is there a fitting up in the power head that can have air blown down thru? Just guessing since I saw the lower part but I don't have the upper part. There would have to be a transducer somewhere and I'm thinking up in the powerhead.
