Cooling water indicator

[Mc Tool]

Didnt want to head a new thread with "Pisser"so......
As elsewhere stated a million or so times the pisser is not an honest indication that the motor is actually getting enough cooling water..... so why is it where it is ? Wouldnt it be better coming from the t/ stat cover(s) . I am thinking of moving mine there. It might take a tad longer to produce than its current position but you would know for sure that the water was making it right thru the motor.

Just to give some operators the Warm Fuzzies that the Water Pump is operating.
On its late inline 6s, Mercury put the fitting to provide water for the pisser at the top of the Block, earlier inline 6s had the outlet on the Water Jacket cover between Cylinders 3 and 4

The smaller Mercury engines have it off of the thermostat.

Get a pressure gauge and a temp gauge
