I need to find a replacement part for our 2000 Moomba Mobuis but not sure what the part name is. It's located on the back lower portion of the boat & there is one of each side. Please see the attached picture. We believe it is part of the ballast system where the water is sucked it but not sure. Thanks for any help you can give!

Did it break off? If it isn't leaking time to install PP stargazer with GPS for speed.

It is called a pitot(sp) tube.

Why are you replacing them? Pitot tubes commonly get plugged with sediment and the result is the speedo fails. You can usually unscrew the tube and clean things out.

But if you didn't know it was part of the speedo... how did you know it needed to be replaced?

Need to pull the line loose from the back of the speedometer and blow it out. They get water up in them sometimes. Or they get pinched. That's why you have two speedos for tournament use. If they were worth a crap you'd only need one. (By the way, you can make your boat a lot faster by drilling the hole out a little bit.) ;)
