What were you drinking?

I’m going to explain something that happend to me today .. before anyone asks if I was drunk I will tell you I wasn’t. The weather in Maine has been very unseasonably warm(88) we took the boat out today. When getting above 50mph water was kind of spraying out from under the steering wheel. At first I didn’t think a lot of it , but it was still happening at the end of the day!! It actually seemed like it was coming out a little faster . I did smell it and there was no smell and it didn’t feel like oil. To describe location ( it was spraying on my feet) not like a hose more like a passing sprinkle.. no I don’t do drugs and there are no holes under my boat. Help please;-)

The speedometer pitot tube travels from rear outdrive to dash via hose.. it's splitting at the speedo .

Fix it and you will pick up 5 mph and dry carpet
