Late 80's 175hp pic request

[BoatingCop]

I'm working on my 1989 175 hp bubble back and can't seem to figure the tell-tale out. It was messed with before I got it, so I'm trying to get the hose routing right. Can someone post some pictures of their engine specifically of the tell-tale, where it comes out of the the exhaust cover, up and around the starboard head, and out the bottom of the cowling? I'm trying to figure out why there is a "tee" fitting involved and I think it has something to do with why my head is overheating on that side due to looping the hose helps to get the air out of the system. Thanks in advance!!

Thanks. I've considered doing that, and may still do. Very nice write ups. I was just trying to figure out why the factory slip the line.

Not sure what slip the lines means, havent heard that before

Sorry that was a typo. Split the line is what I meant to say. Even the factory diagram shows a "tee" fitting by the tell tale exit. I'll just do away with the "tee" fitting and run one line up and over the head.
