What's in the Box
- 1 x 120°F outboard thermostat
This listing is for the thermostat only. The company record identifies the product as a single thermostat rather than a multi-component kit. Gaskets, seals, housing parts, or other installation components should be confirmed separately for your specific engine.
Installation Notes
- Confirm the engine model, serial number, thermostat temperature, and original part number before beginning work.
- Allow the engine to cool completely and disconnect the battery according to the engine manufacturer's safety procedure.
- Locate the thermostat housing and remove the cover carefully, keeping track of the fasteners and the original thermostat orientation.
- Remove the old thermostat and any sealing material, then clean the mating surfaces without damaging the housing.
- Install the replacement thermostat in the same orientation as the original part.
- Install a new gasket or seal if required for your engine application. Gaskets and seals are not identified as included with this single-thermostat listing.
- Reinstall the housing cover and tighten the fasteners to the engine manufacturer's specified torque.
- Run the engine using the correct water-supply procedure for your outboard and check for proper water flow, leaks, and normal operating temperature.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if my thermostat may be failing?
Possible symptoms include abnormal operating temperature, overheating, poor temperature control, or an engine that does not reach its normal operating temperature. These symptoms can also be caused by restricted water passages, a damaged water pump, incorrect installation, or other cooling-system problems.
Is a gasket included?
This product is identified by the company record as a single thermostat, not a multi-component kit. A gasket or seal is not identified as included, so confirm the required sealing parts for your exact engine before ordering.
Will this fit my Mercury Mariner engine?
It is listed for selected Mercury Mariner 6, 7, 8, 9.9, and 15 HP applications with the applicable HPA197112 and later serial condition. Verify the complete model and serial number, the 120°F rating, and the original thermostat reference before purchase.
Does this fit Johnson or Evinrude engines?
Johnson and Evinrude fitment is not established for this product record. Do not use the listed Mercury and Mariner references to select a thermostat for a Johnson or Evinrude engine.
Is this an OEM thermostat?
No. This is an aftermarket replacement thermostat intended to replace the listed Mercury Marine references in matching applications.
What should I verify before ordering?
Compare the original thermostat, part number, opening temperature, engine model, horsepower, and full serial-number range. If any of these details do not match, confirm compatibility with a qualified marine technician before ordering.
Safety & Important Information
- Allow the engine to cool completely before removing the thermostat housing.
- Use the correct water-supply and starting procedure for your outboard during testing.
- Do not operate the engine if the cooling system has inadequate water flow or leaks.
- Verify the part number, 120°F rating, engine model, and serial-number condition before installation.
- Professional marine-service installation is recommended when the correct application or installation procedure is uncertain.
