What's this black tube coming out of engine? - 1996 evinrude 9.9 2 stroke remote

[9.9er]

So I just purchased a1996 Evinrude 9.9 2-stroke remote control motor for $400. Cleaned it up, attached control harness and cables, adjusted all to run well. ​But what is that long black thin rubber (6') hose coming out of the motor, It spits a steady stream of water when motor is running. Motor is pissing just fine out the blow hole. What could this possibly attach to? I've search my manual and I'm at a complete loss. Help

To clarify: This black rubber water hose (1/4" od) is exiting the motor thru the operator control panel along with controls wiring harness.

Does it / did it go to a water pressure gauge ??

Gotta be something like that, maybe a speedo or temp? This is a small motor don't really need pressure gauges

Anyone else?


gotta be something common

I'll guess its a water pressure and or water temperature hose that hooked up to a gauge at one time. Like I said, just a guess

It also could be for an optional coffe maker I suppose.

It's possible they re-routed the pisser tube to be visible in a remote set-up. Not the first time I've seen that done if the outlet isn't visible from where the driver's sitting...

It may be common. It isn't normal.

A hose always has two ends. You have one end sticking out of the control panel. What is the other end hooked to?

Mmmmm, fresh coffee made from lake water. Or salt chuck?

My inlaws well is close to the road. Spring melt brings road salt out of tap. Does not make good coffee...

Doesn't matter how big or small the engine is -- if the engine has a water pump (this one does) that hose was probably hooked to a water "pressure" gauge to signal the operator that the water pump was failing. Since water is coming out of it, it is obviously connected somewhere to the cooling system. It is definitely NOT a water TEMPERATURE tube.

Probably relocated the tell tale pisser to be easily seen pissing
