Using the fluted end of the drill bit, slowly slide the bit back and forth to remove any debris. [links]
Your outboard has a water pressure speedometer located on the lower unit of your motor. From time to time, this feature will get clogged with debris, weeds and gravel. This problem is easy to fix with one simple tool . a drill bit.
Locate the tiny hole on the leading edge of your lower unit. This is where water is forced in and runs to the back of the speedometer, giving you your reading.
This method should take care of any obstructions that may be causing your outboard speedometer reading to be off. Watch the video below for more information. here

Subsequently, question is, how do I fix my boat speedometer? [links]
What is a tachometer on a boat?
Beside above, how does a speedometer work on a boat? Speedometer (Pitot Tube Type) The pitot tube speedometer operates by air pressure changes in the hose and speedometer. Water is pushed through the pitot into the hose, compressing the air. Air pressure increases with boat speed, causing the gauge to indicate faster speeds. [links]
The usual cause is a clogged intake hole. That is either in the front of the lower unit or a separate pickup attached to the transom. The gauge measures pressure. You can disconnect the hose at the gauge and blow backwards to disloge whatever is clogging it. [links]
A tachometer measures your boat engine's RPMs. Great Lakes Skipper has tachometers for all different boat engines: outboard boat motor tachometers, inboard/outboard boat tachometers, diesel boat engine tachometers, inboard boat engine tachometers, digital tachometers, analog tachometers, and more. here
You can use a handheld GPS unit. While GPS is not 100% accurate at measuring distances, a 12 channel GPS unit is pretty good at displaying current speed. Find a long stretch of open water and drive at a constant speed at about normal ski speed. The handheld GPS should read a steady speed and you can adjust your speedo to match the GPS. [links]
You could run alongside a boat with known accurate speedometers. Have the other driver travel at a fixed speed, usually your normal ski speed. When you are both traveling the exact same speed, adjust your speedometers to read the same.
It is a good idea to adjust the speedometer at your normal skiing speed. SInce speedometers are not perfectly linear, adjusting them at your normal ski speed results in the most accurate reading at that speed. [links]
For example, someone that skis at 36mph normally would do a timed run through the course at a constant speed with their boat speedometer reading 36mph. If the measured time throught the course was more than 16.08 seconds, then their boat speedometer must be indicating a speed faster than the boat is actually traveling. You would adjust it to read slightly slower using the front adjusting knob on an Airguide speedometer, and repeat the timed run through the course. [links]
The following table indicates how long the timed runs should take at various speeds: The table lists segment times and tolerances. The full course time is the one normally used for adjusting speedometers. The mph numbers are approximate. For example, 34 should be 34.2 when converted from kilometers per hour. Full course timing is from entrance gates to exit gates. Segment timing is from entrance gates to ball 3 and from ball 3 to exit gates. here
