No Telltale On Your Outboard? Here's What To Do | BoatUS

When you start your outboard engine, you should see a stream of water coming from it, which is called a telltale. This tell tale lets you know that the engine is cooling properly. If your outboard isn't peeing, it's usually a sign of a problem, which could be a blocked outlet or your outboard water pump needs replacing. BoatUS Magazine's Lenny Rudow shows you what to look for if there's no tell-tale and steps you should take before you call it a day on the water -- or burn up your engine. 🚩Enjoy this video?
