I just bought my first boat a month ago it definitly has turn into a project boat I had to do alot of repairs to get it in the water and not knowing much about boats i had to pay the repair shop for some but with this site i'm doing alot myself. Also this site has helped me from getting ripped off real bad at the shop so thanks alot to everyone that takes time to reply to these post
you are really helping people
About the thermostat my merc 260 was running hot the impeller was already changed so i checked the T-Stat it was shot so i replaced it with a new one. Still running hot so i checked the risers and manifolds because i saw alot of rust in t-stat housing but they must have been replaced recently because they were real clean no rust Decided to check new stat and it was worst than old one water began to boil before it started to open. So never again car or a boat will i throw a new one in without testing first Thanks again
