Am I doing this right?  Anyone changed to Oberdorfer N202M-15 from the Sherwood?<br />

<div>Hello All. I have a year 2000 Cummins 6BT 5.9M in a 36' sundeck. It only has 420 hours on it. Runs great, but at 2000 RPM the temp is 190 pushing 200. I have boiled out the heat exchanger, replaced the raw water pump, cleaned out the intake strainer, and all the hoses are good. I don't know IF I have a problem, but a local marine mechanic suggested I look at the thermostat. I don't want to starting tearing down the engine, but it is 13 years old, and with the low hours, maybe the thermostat has deteriorated - don't know. Anyone ever replace theirs? Thanks</div>

			<description>My venerable old motor has sprung a leak at the top of the pump.  My thought is to replace the o-rings first to see if that cures the problem.  Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.</description>
