Then the cooling system is critical in internal combustion engines, so is the thermostat. A thermostat must be in good working order to keep the engine at the proper temperature. The engine is kept from becoming overheated with this component, resulting in irreversible engine damage.
It sits between the engine and the radiator. When it deteriorates, the engine's entire cooling system begins to malfunction, which can be disastrous. Because this component is a new feature in the engine cooling system, most vehicle owners are confused about how they are cooled.
It has couplings, saves you time in researching and gathering individual parts. The thermostats are designed to operate at a temperature of 143°F (62°C) and are compatible with different outboard models. The kit also includes the necessary gaskets; pre-assembled kits allow you to replace the thermostat rather than locate replacement parts.
This product allows for the removal of steam pockets caused by cold water entering a heated engine block—their hi-flow design aids in maintaining a constant operating temperature.
Features:
-
Engineered especially to marine engines
-
Temperature ratings to factory specifications keep the engine running at peak performance.
-
Offer improved appearance and performance.
-
The thermostat prevents coolant flow during cold start. This product causes the engine to reach operating temperature more quickly.
