Have a hose from drive going all the way to dash (not connected to anything currently, plugged with a bolt on the end ) but its a bit biger than any speedo or water pressure hose I have seen. (its not the one that goes to drive oil tank)
The lower does have a nosecone on it as well if that makes any difference.

Yes, Bravos have a speedo pick up tube in the leading edge of the lower unit. I would suspect yours was disconnected when the nose cone was installed.

Yes as illustrated, just above the bullet!
Why not just get a new display there on the dash!
Called, GPS! lol

Go with a chart plotter and put it in, you will Not regret it!

Like I posted above, I have a nice GPS (Raymarine Chartplotter with Navionics charts and Raymarine depthsounder ) just wondering what the hose laying in the dash was for.
Now I know.. Thanks to you guys!
