Abstract
A tell-tale system is provided for an outboard motor in which the tell-tale fluid conduit is connectable to an external water source, such as a water hose, and is extendable away from the cowl of the outboard motor in order to facilitate its use during a flushing operation. When not being used in the flushing procedure, the connector of the fluid conduit is snapped into position in connection with the cowl to maintain its position when used as a tell-tale port.
