I added a telltale on my 88 force 50 hp. I remove a small bolt at top just before the thermostat.. ran a hose to a small insert in motor housing. It sprays really well and adds a degree of comfort. I replaced a long non existent stat that a boat mech told wasn't needed anyway...I find he was wrong. My concern is that the pee is before the water reaches the stat. Is there a possibility that if will prevent the proper amount of water or pressure for the cooling of the motor. It starts out very strong then weakens ...as the stat opens I believe. And more pee as rpm increases. Does the water cool the motor before the stat or after. Just wondering if I did bod instead of good. If anyone is interested in adding one...just get an icemaker hookup...one with a 3/8 valve.
