[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 276555, member: 7791"] This may be true on larger outboards that it doesn't pee until the therm opens, but I still think they should have a bypass passage around the thermostat to allow some water, even a trickle to come out of the telltale. That is why I believe the peehole/telltale was put on motors, to show water was flowing. I am not familiar with the plumbing on Mercs but it doesn't make sense to me that a bad thermostat could make it not pee at all out of the telltale? But then again I have been wrong many times before [/QUOTE]
