How do you get the "Pee Stream" on the older outboards?

[JasonM1955]

I have a 1977 135 Evinrude and would like to have a 'Pee Stream" out the side so I can keep an eye on the water pump without going to the back of the boat. I've heard of guys doing this but not sure how it is done. Can anyone help me out?<br />Thanks:<br />Jason

Why not install a water pressure gage in the dash instead?

It's very simple. Get a fitting (number 321886), drill and tap into the water jacket on the top of the block above number one cylinder (flat area). Drill into the BLOCK, not the cylinder HEAD. The water jacket (space)is about a 1/4" deep at the top. The block itself is an 1/8" or so. I go forward of the head gasket a 1/2" or so and center in the flat area. <br /><br />Seal the threads with non-hardening gasket sealer and screw it in. Drill the lower motor cover where you want the stream to exit and install fitting number 321885. It just pops in. <br /><br />Connect the two fittings with a hose and youre all set.<br /><br />Good luck and enjoy!

Yes. Any Johnson or Evinrude dealer.<br /><br />Trent makes a good point about the water pressure gauge. Once you have the hose there you can easily install a gauge also.<br /><br />Good luck!
