it might be easier with the motor tilted, because sometimes the thermostats doesnt want to stay put while you put the spring in afterit and try to screw the outer housing on...

tilting may help....

the spring pressure also makes a seal by forcing the t-stat against the rubber seal inside the head...


kinda important...

not not use sealant on the plastic out hosuing-nut!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought two used heads like yours and the previous owner sealed them

I totally destroyed the hosuing trying to get it unscrewed!!!

good thing the head was off the motor, because I had to put it in a milling machine and machine out the left over housing!!!!! it came out one little piece at a time...would have been a total nightmare on the block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


they use an o-ring... its all you need...I have removed my t-sat housings dozens of times troubleshooting my cooling issues...no leaks


good luck

there are a few sites,

shop.evinrude.com is the main one...but it isnt as easy to navigate as some others

I personally like boats.net...


because the pictures is full page.. and you can see more parts at one time...the other site has the exact same info...it is just more of a head ache looking around


here...pick your motor maker on the left side, and you are on your way
http://www.boats.net/

but remember to try and shop at Iboats as much as you can,...they give us this great forum
