150 yamaha speedo plastic fitting Lower unit

[captaindarrell]

Just did the 100 hour maintenance on my two 150 Fourstrokes. In the process of
putting the lower unit back on - I broke the white fitting that sends water to the speed sensor. Its the motor that is not feeding the speedo. I thought I would just replace it next time I service the impellers. I was told by my mechanic that
the missing fitting would not effect anything - just send water into the cavity.

Do I have to worry about anything unknown other than being more careful next time? My speedo on the port engine works just fine. Thanks

it all starts with giving up on small things

LOL a philosopher!

I have yet to break mine - but I did cut the rubber tube off.

I use my GPS to tell me SOG.



OP: you're fine.

Just don't let this be a "slippery slope"....be careful with that port engine

Thanks - I want to verify we are talking about the same fitting. It has the o-ring!

yes, your engine has a different part design.



But same result if its broken / missing: no problem.
Other than not being able to operate a speedometer.
