Cool...I show a 15454 as a 1974 15hp Rude. Earlier models didn't have a tell tale. I think 1977 and later did have 'um.

My 1974 15 HP evinrude has a pee hole. Its on the starboard side on the bottom of the power head. Doesn't look like much when it's not pumping water - just looks like a small hole.
