The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.

Thanks

Re: 4.3 Strange Temp while running on muffs
This makes sense...but I didn't put it on the gasket with the rivets. I didn't have the cork gasket, which is on the other side of thermostat, so I used perfect seal instead. Item number 3
Thanks for the input!
