Cooling water flow

[z28]

Did I ask this in the wrong way? If boat is in the water not in gear & running. Would I see it peeing?


Hi I'm the new guy & have a question. I have a 1974 Evinrude 65hp outboard on 74 Norris Craft. I need to know where the water comes out. You know pee hole to show it is cooling. Thanks

No overboard water indicater for that particular year. Evinrude/Johnson did not start installing the tell tale until 77.

You can install one if you buy the indicator fitting that goes on the cowl, a short piece of hose, and the elbow that screws into the block. You'll have to drill and tap the block for the elbow but it's a pretty straight forward process. Check the Top Secret file at the top of this forum, ther's an article in there on retrofitting an older engine with them.

Thanks guys for the answer. I have added new water pump & the pee tube. Motor run great. Thanks for all the great info on this site. PS I read a lot.
