  5. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces of the housing and its cover, removing all old gasket material.
  6. Install the new thermostat in the correct orientation, followed by the new gasket.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

What are the signs of a faulty outboard thermostat?

Common symptoms include the engine overheating at various speeds, an alarm sounding, or the engine failing to warm up to its proper operating temperature. An erratic temperature gauge reading can also indicate a problem.

How can I test if my current thermostat is working?

You can remove the thermostat and suspend it in a pot of water with a thermometer. Heat the water and observe the temperature at which the thermostat begins to open. This part should open at approximately 140°F (60°C). If it doesn't open or stays stuck open, it needs replacement.

Is a gasket included with this thermostat?

This listing is for the thermostat only. Gaskets are typically sold separately. Always use a new gasket during installation to ensure a proper seal.

Why is a 140°F / 60°C temperature rating important?

This rating ensures the engine warms up quickly and maintains a consistent temperature for optimal fuel efficiency, performance, and reduced engine wear. Using the wrong temperature can lead to poor performance or damage.

What is the difference between an OEM and an aftermarket part?

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). It is built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. All our parts are manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility and are batch-inspected for quality and consistency.

How fast is shipping and what does it cost?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit is 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free to most regions, with expedited options available at checkout where applicable.

What is the warranty and return policy?

This part is covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal marine use. If you encounter an issue, please contact our support team with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard window for unused items in their original condition. See our policy page or reach out for instructions.
