The invention provides a visibility aid for watercraft in the form a stream of water illuminated from within so that the stream of water is readily visible even in unfavorable conditions. A stream of water such as the telltale from the cooling system of an outboard motor is illuminated from within by light that exhibits total internal reflection. This makes the telltale easy to see, even at night, allowing a boat operator to know that the cooling system is functioning properly.
