Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I confirm this kit fits my specific engine?
Verify your engine's horsepower, model, and year against the compatibility chart. The most reliable method is to match the OEM part number from your service manual with the numbers listed in our Part Number Matrix.
What are common symptoms of a bad thermostat?
A thermostat stuck open will prevent the engine from reaching its proper operating temperature, leading to poor performance and fuel economy. A thermostat stuck closed will cause the engine to overheat, which can lead to severe damage.
Some sources say part 8M0139434 only fits 9.9-20hp models. Why do you list it for 8-30hp?
Aftermarket parts are often engineered to cover a broader range of models than a single OEM part number. While Quicksilver may specify a narrower range for 8M0139434, our kit is confirmed to fit the wider 8-30 HP range sharing the same engine block and cooling design. Always verify by your original part number if possible.
What is the operating temperature of this thermostat?
This thermostat is rated to open at 60°C (140°F), which is the standard specification for the listed engine models to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Are gaskets included with this kit?
Yes, this is a complete repair kit that includes one thermostat, one thermostat cover gasket, and a set of thermostat seals, providing all the necessary components for replacement.
How often should an outboard thermostat be replaced?
There is no fixed replacement interval, but it is good practice to inspect the thermostat during routine cooling system service (e.g., water pump replacement) every 2-3 years, or immediately if you notice temperature-related issues.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
Shipping speed & cost?
