You don't have one. They started showing up in '79.

At the top or this thread there is a post covering the install of Tell-Tails on Evinrude and Johnsons. Posted my iwombat.

If you hear the high temp alarm it may already be to late for your power head.

The best place, if there's clearance is on top of cylinder #1. I don't think there's much clearance there though. So, your next best spot is high up on the exhaust cover.

Re: where's the pee

If you put it on top of #1 it is best to remove the head to do it. It is tight in there.

I think the post is only locked because they dont want anymore posts on it as it has covered most tell tell appclations. You should be able to read it.


Here is a picture of where I put mine, I picked this spot because it was the highest place on the motor .

Iboats has the head gasket and it only took two days for mine to get to me.
