I have an 86' 110 Johnson. The left head was cooler than the right side so I figured it was an open stat. Tore it down, took the back cover below the pan off, took the "bubble" manifold off and that made it way easier to access the housing. Ironically, the only bolt easier to get to by taking the manifold off was the one that broke, the middle one. There is a little sticking out so I do have a punchers chance with an extractor but if I can't get it out will I be able to get away with just the outer two? I'm really hopings so and thinking that since it's not a pressurized system like a car that it may work. On a side note, the stat for the cool side does not look stuck open so I don't know why that side was cooler but given the age of the engine it was time anyway. I think I'm going to do deflectors to while I'm working on it already.
