1988 Evinrude 15HP no telltale?

[jahughes]

Howdy all, I tried to search, but it looks like the search history got lost prior to 12/21/05, so...<br /><br />1988 Evinrude 15HP, new to me, I don't see a pee stream tell-tale like on my 1983 Johnson 15 so I am looking at the exhaust port at the top rear of the midsection for spray, not really seeing any coming out with the exhaust, where should I be looking for spent cooling water to be coming out of this motor?<br /><br />Thanks y'all,<br /><br />Jason

Whoops, never mind, forgot my basics, musta had a spidey in the hidey hole, found the telltale, blasted it with compressed air, peeing like a (very small) racehorse now!<br /><br />--J

I've had mud dobbers and even a nest of bumble bees in my old 9.9-- it got to where I would put tape over the holes when I parked it.

Had a whole herd of Yellow jackets that thought my L/U would make a nice home, went through 3 cans of hornet spray before I got the l/u dropped cleaned and replaced. The damned things kept sending out for reinforcements
