Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm fitment for my engine?

Match your engine brand, model, horsepower, stroke and year to the compatibility information above, then compare the thermostat in your engine with the listed manufacturer part number. If the model or original part number differs, consult the engine service manual or a qualified marine technician.

The manufacturer lists this thermostat at 122°F (50°C).

Possible symptoms include abnormal operating temperature, overheating, running cooler than intended, inconsistent temperature behavior or an engine warning. Check the cooling system and follow the manufacturer’s diagnostic procedure before replacing parts.

Does this listing include a gasket?

The package contents list one thermostat only. A gasket or seal is not listed as included, so inspect the existing component and obtain the correct replacement if required by the service procedure.
