    No…you can’t see them from the bottom of the exhaust housing.
    The lower one almost always survives an overheat so that is not a tell-tale either.
    Really can’t look at what the overboard indicator line is flowing at high RPM because the wind is blowing what stream there is apart.

    Now the good part!
    If you decide to take a look at it this would be the perfect time to replace all fuel lines, the overboard indicator line, clean the motor pan, and grease your shift linkage. The other bugger this engine has is the upper mounts….check them as well since they will be right in front of you. The only gasket you need will be the base gasket and of course two grommets.
