That would work. Golf tee, pipe cleaner or piece of wire. Anything really would work.
Yesterday while taking the Kenner out on High rock I noticed it didn’t have water coming out of the tell tale hole. (135 Opti)
Since it was making water out the exhaust, I knew the water pump was pumping so I made the call to go on and the water would blow the mud out of the hole once it was under way and the mud got wet. I was wrong. Long story short…. Ended up taking the cowl off, un hooking the hose and straightening a hook to dig the bee crud from the hole. (more than just mud)
Is there a good way to keep them from building in there?
Maybe a golf tee stuck in the hole when the boat is not being used?

Had them build a nest in the bilge pump outlet.

Maybe Vaseline. Would that wash itself out when you got under way? Incase you forgot to pull the golf tee

I would think as hot as it gets in summer the Vaseline would melt out.
Just go fishing every day. Don't give them time to mud it up

I stick a piece of weed eater line in mine.....if I forget to pull it out, it will blow out when I start the outboard.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

A small piece of blue painters tape when you park it. I take it off when I plug the boat. It’s also on my “preflight” checklist I keep.

Those outboard engineers could put a small flap like on top of a tractor exhaust pipe to close that hole and stop all that condo building
