SSN651 Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 I have a 2016 115 ETEC. It didn't come with a telltale fitting and pees straight out the back which is not visible when running the boat. Is there any reason that I can't install a telltale (port is threaded so should accept one) so I can monitor the pee stream when running? The old fitting allows for directional adjustment.

Bamaskeet Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 There is no reason can can't move the fitting. But I would suggest installing a water pressure gauge and don't bother moving the fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a glance you know what is going on without having to interrupt you site line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSN651 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I guess I can install a NMEA 2000 backbone and install the WP kit to feed the SIMRAD instrument panel. Back to the original question though: any problem installing the telltale into the threaded discharge port on the motor? Later model ETEC's didn't come with one.

HoneyB Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 I can’t imagine the it would hurt anything. I do not know anything about the e tech but I’ve seen guys tap into cooling jackets and run a hose over with a tie strap insind the cowl and one outside to hold the line in place ..

Chuck 😁 No problem....my friend with a 150 has his discharge out sideways now. He must have changed it, ( So he can see it at any time ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
