I have an '85 Evinrude 115 (E115TLCO) which has a tell-tale on both sides (starboard & port), but the port outlet didn't pee. While I was investigating I noticed that the outlet on that side was a bent piece of copper tubing that crimped when bent and was not allowing water flow. I replaced the crimped copper with a free flowing elbow but have since been educated that this tell-tale is just for observation purposes and is not an intentional circulatory system outlet - in other words, not essential. I'm thinking the previous owner may have intentionally blocked it to preserve water in the cooling jacket. Would I be better off going back to one tell-tale?
