Re: 200hp yamaha squirts water

could be a spot where someone had a water pressure guage installed and the tube broke.
without a better description or pics its impossible to say.

its not a valve, its where the water pressure guage tube used to be.
and it was installed on the wrong bank anyway.
remove it, buy the correct plug and plug it or buy the tubing and guage kit.
