'fanatic,
Use a small drill bit, like 1/32-1/16 inch, and carefully "drill" out the blockage by hand that will be in the speedo pick-up hole that is on the leading edge of the lower unit right above the "bullet" gearcase. This should clear the debris.
I have to do this at least three times a year to clear debris - mainly from grass and water lillies floating near the surface.
Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img] ,
