<br />Ok I am totally confused, bemused, and bewildered.<br /><br />I have been working on a recently acquired DT 25 poking and prodding a threaded hole at the rear of the lower cowl in an attempt to get water to pump through, with no success
<br /><br />Must admit I haven't had a lot of time and no workshop manual, and any posts I found in searches said "Yes, there is a problem if your engine doesn't pee"<br /><br />Ah, but, here's the thing; I can run this engine for 30 minutes in the tank and still touch all the powerhead without heading for ER?<br />She's pumping water out through two holes just below the transom bracket and out through the above water exhaust; all sources run lukewarm.<br /><br />Today I decided to take my time and in a brightly lit workshop discovered that there is a hole in the starboard side lower cowl where I suspect the telltale was supposed to be. It still has factory blue paint intact on it so looks like it was never used. There is nowhere on the powerhead for a "take-off" to flow water out to this hole.<br /><br />Is it possible that I have an engine that never had a tell-tale???
<br /><br />Or has a previous owner/mechanic "blogged" the system for some bizarre reason???<br /><br />Any answers very gratefully received as it's driving me nuts and I am scared to use this engine at sea until I am sure I'm not going to have row home!
