Had 25 hr service done and asked for the boat to be water tested prior to pickup today. Launched boat and 5 min later no speedo and engine light comes on with anything more than throttle. Limped back to lift and get under boat and there is a huge vine wrapped around the prop and one of the paddles was broken off the speedo wheel and wedged. Got the vine off and unwedged the speedo wheel. Boat runs fine now but the speedo is off by at least 2/3rds; it registers 10mph when I'm at least 30 mph. I have 12 people at the lake who all drove 6 hrs for a long weekend.
1. How easy is it to get and change a speedo wheel.
2. How do I tell if there was any damage to the boat from the vine. engine never overheated but I wonder about the tranny. Everything seems fine now except the speedo which is a must for surfing.
I plan on going to nearest PCM service guy ASAP in morning but just looking for any reassurance this may be an easy fix so I can salvage the weekend (closest Tige service is 1:45 min drive away).
