Johnson Evinrude 1965 6hp - Adding a Tell-tale for Water Flow

How to install a telltale to confirm good water flow through the outboard powerhead.

I have the same engine and had it overheat on me today due to a plugged line within the water pump system so I'm looking to do this. How has this been holding up for you? I wonder why this wasn't done from the factory?

All good so far!

Very enjoy

What type of rubber hose do you need for this?

[@Bigtime_mcalpine]

I just used automotive windshield wiper hose but you can pretty much use whatever you have on hand. It’s just warm water.
