Yamaha F150 water line question

[TNRider66]

Hey all, I was out cruising with the family earlier, and while my wife was driving I peaked back at my outboard, 2005 Yamaha F150, to make sure everything looked like it was operating normally. I noticed a liquid squirting out of a small 1/4” line, and it was just water. There was a pinch in the line, and when the boat went quicker there was more pressure and water squirting out vs almost no water coming out when we idled. I dried off the line and did a quick repair via some electrical tape, will do a permanent repair later.

My question is this, what does this line go to? It wouldn’t let me upload a video so took a screen grab.

Is it from a water pickup for your speedometer?

I’m really not sure, I was able to follow it slightly back under the aluminum under skinning, and it did connect to a larger cable which headed towards the console, but that was as far as I made it yesterday after we got it back to the slip.

Looks like the supply line to your water pressure gauge.

Thank you all for feedback. At this point I’m going to purchase a 1/4 adapter and permanently fix the line. I’ll ask my mechanic about it the next time I take it to him for servicing.
