Re: 50hp force and t/stat
Ok, worried about not having a telltale on that motor?<br />2 things you can do. There is a small (1/4" ? ) pipe plug on the top of the motor, an inch or 2 in front of the thermostat housing.<br /><br />1 - You can remove the plug and install a water pressure gauge. The entire kit costs about $50. In volves running plastic tubing to the dash and cutting a hole in dash for the gauge.<br /><br />2 - You can remove the plug and fashion your own telltale using a fitting, reducing fitting, and 1/8" copper tubing. Drill a small hole in the side of the lower motor cowl and route the tubing thru the hole. You could use a fancy fitting or grommet here if you want. Cost, under $10. If too much water is shooting out, carefully squeeze the tubing a little.
