Troubleshooting & FAQ

What temperature rating does this thermostat have?

The company product record lists a rating of 133°F / 56°C.

Which engines is this thermostat intended for?

The listed applications are selected Evinrude/Johnson V6 outboards from 115 HP through 175 HP, including E115 (1997), E135, E150 (2000–2006), and E175 (2000–2006). Confirm the complete model designation before purchase.

Is this a thermostat kit?

No. This product is a single thermostat. The housing gasket and other installation parts are not included unless separately specified.

Does the package include a gasket?

No. The package contains the thermostat only. A new gasket is recommended when required by the engine manufacturer’s service procedure.

Will it fit any 115–175 HP Evinrude or Johnson engine?

No. Horsepower alone does not confirm fitment. Match the engine brand, complete model designation, year, cooling-system configuration, and original part number with the information above.

Is this an OEM thermostat?

This is an aftermarket replacement. OEM and aftermarket numbers shown in this listing are provided as reference and interchange information; the product is not represented as an original equipment component.

What are common signs of a thermostat problem?

Possible symptoms include overheating, running cooler than expected, slow warm-up, or unstable temperature behavior. Diagnose the complete cooling system before replacing the thermostat.

Safety & Important Info

  • Confirm fitment using the complete engine model, year, original thermostat, and all available part-number information.
  • Never work on a hot engine or open the cooling system while it is pressurized.
  • Use the engine manufacturer’s service manual for torque values, gasket requirements, installation orientation, and testing procedures.
  • This is an aftermarket replacement component, not an original equipment manufacturer part.
  • Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with marine outboard cooling systems.
