Will try to later next week. WULPHIE- I was told by several boat fanatics that thermostats are to make sure the boat runs smoother, and also make sure that the engine doesn't get too cool, SO at one point I actually removed the thermostat to make sure water flow would be sufficient. The boat STILL OVERHEATED. Since then a new thermostat was installed.
