    Can I put it in the lake and run it? Or as I back it into the lake water will rush into the bellow and Hydro lock the motor?

    No thermostat in motor?

    My boat is having over heating problems, I took the thermostat cover off and there was no thermostat in there. So the motor has no thermostat at all. Where can I find a new one? Anyone have a part number or a website? What would this do to my motor since there was not on in there.
