TOPIC: What is this?

Can someone please tell me what this is? There are some great debates going around about it. The boat is a 1972 Glasspar Citation. Cheers!

Hello Jen,

That is a pitot tube which is the pickup for the Airguide speedometer.


A friend had an early 70’s Glasspar 170 Cutlass with the Mercruiser I/O.







My friend Jim has since passed but I know he loved that boat.

Thanks,
Terry

That's exactly what I called it when everyone was arguing about it. I am a private pilot and I explained it the same way as how it would work with an airplane. Thank you for validating my view!! I'll have to share this with the others. The boys just couldn't believe I was correct.

Thank you, Terry!

By the way, that's a nice looking Glasspar! Thank you for sharing the pictures with me.

why would anyone argue over this? It's a very COMMON boat accessory that has been used for decades.

Just people who don't know much about boats.
