[QUOTE="scn, post: 5114061, member: 1859"] I was told by a gentleman with a lot more boat time than me that the "pee hole" on the motor is also called a "tell-tell". Basically, it is a visual that your cooling system is working. However, it is not where the majority of the cooling water is exiting the motor. That happens down in the foot. In coastal waters, it is pretty common to to suck up some sand/mud/shell particles that can block the tell-tell. I was told that as long as the motor is not running hot where the overheated engine buzzer goes off, that it isn't a major deal if the tell-tell is blocked. My buddy will continue to fish with that going on, and will clean out the tell-tell back at the ramp. I haven't run that by a boat mechanic, but the person that told me is VERY knowledgeable about boats and motors. [/QUOTE]
