Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my thermostat is failing?

Common signs of a faulty thermostat include engine overheating, running too cool (not reaching operating temperature), erratic temperature gauge readings, or coolant leaks around the thermostat housing.

What temperature does this thermostat open at?

This thermostat is designed to open at 71°C (160°F), allowing coolant to circulate through the engine and radiator to maintain optimal operating temperature.

Is this a direct replacement for my Suzuki part?

Yes, this is a direct aftermarket replacement for Suzuki part numbers 17670-90J10 and 17670-90J10-000. Please verify your engine model and year in the compatibility table.

How often should an outboard thermostat be replaced?

Thermostats are a critical maintenance item. It is recommended to inspect them annually and replace them every 2-3 years or as specified by your engine's service manual, especially when operating in saltwater.

What happens if I use the wrong temperature thermostat?

Using a thermostat with the wrong temperature rating can lead to poor engine performance. One that opens too early will cause the engine to run too cool, increasing fuel consumption and wear. One that opens too late can cause the engine to overheat, risking severe damage.

Do I need a new gasket for installation?

Yes, it is highly recommended to use a new gasket whenever replacing the thermostat to ensure a proper seal and prevent coolant leaks. Gaskets are often sold separately.
