it seems that i have two outlets for water to leave the motor.. i recently added a telltale and i noticed water coming out of the hole on the mid casing on this motor as well.. its not really a constant stream in the mid section but it does sputter water out quite often at idling, not sure what it does in gear.. the tell tale seems to be working fine, it does take a while before water gets to it though.. thanks heres a pic

Re: 55hp telltale issue

No issue. All seems well. The mid leg exits (idle relief ports) allow escape at idle due to back pressure. Under way the exhaust exits at snout (above the prop. Telltale will pee all the time if water circulation is present.
