There is an oring that fits in the groove to hold the thermostat in.

Re: Volvo Penta Thermostat

The impeller is new and the motor temp stabilizes with a garden hose attached to the engine flushing hose or the stern drive.

I put it the water and it seemed to be doing OK with the temp at a steady 170.

Then, I out in gear and pulled away at idle speed. Immediately, the temp went up.

Could it be the thermostat?
