Mercury – Speedometer Pickup Tubing | Water-Pressure Speed Line | 32-5495053

Overview
This 53-foot roll of pickup tubing is what carries water pressure from the transom pickup to your analog speedometer. It’s long enough for larger boats or clean re-routes where old tubing has gone brittle or started to crack. Out on the water, good tubing keeps the gauge steady instead of bouncing or dropping out. Simple part, but the speedometer depends on it.

Key Features
    • 53 ft (16.15 m) Length – Plenty for long runs or full replacements.
    • Flexible Marine Tubing – Handles routing around corners and tight spaces.
    • Consistent Inner Diameter – Keeps water-pressure signal steady.
    • Durable Polymer Build – Resists kinking and cracking.
    • OEM Fit – Works with Mercury water-pressure speed pickups.

Engine & Boat Compatibility
    • Mercury analog speedometer systems
    • Water-pressure gauge pickups
    • Transom-mounted speed pickups
    • Boats using hose-fed speedometer inputs

Performance & Practical Benefits
Fresh tubing helps the speedometer get a clean, even pressure feed so the needle stays steady. Old tubing can collapse, leak, or clog, making the gauge slow or useless. With new hose in place, pressure moves smoothly from the pickup to the dash, and the speedometer usually comes back to life right away. It’s an easy fix that keeps the gauge honest.

Why Buy OEM
OEM tubing matches Mercury’s size and flexibility exactly, so it seals properly at the pickup, couplings, and gauge. It lasts longer in heat and sunlight than cheaper hose. Most boaters stick with OEM because a good seal and correct diameter make all the difference for speed readings.

FAQ
1. How do I know my tubing needs replacing?
Cracks, stiffness, kinks, or a speedometer that fades in and out are common signs.

2. Is this tubing universal?
It’s sized for Mercury-style water-pressure speedometer systems.

3. Does tubing length matter?
Yes—long runs or bad routing can weaken pressure. This roll is long enough to redo it properly.

4. Can it handle saltwater?
Yes, just rinse after trips so salt doesn’t crust at the ends.

5. What happens when tubing fails underway?
The gauge drops to zero or gives slow, inconsistent speed readings.
