on our 2006 60 HP E etec, there is a hole above the tell tale/water outlet



towards the end of our trip up north last week, we happened to notice some black oily foam sitting in this hole? almost like it was getting  exhaust gas passed through it??

I expect that will be your (idle) exhaust relief.  When at idle - not moving forward it allows the exhaust to vent through this port rather than the propeller hub. This stops putting to much back pressure on the motor.

As it is a 2-stroke the residue may be excess oil coming through the exhaust.

hmm that would kinda make sense,  when it was running on the muffs having a flush there didn't appear to be any pressure there when i put my finger over it, but I suppose when the prop isn't in water there isn't the pressure there either.
