Finally we got to the thermostat. Please tell us if it needs to be replaced or not. Thanks.

Where is the vernatherm in your picture ??

Ah.... The thermostat (vernatherm) should be seated in that 3 shouldered area to the left of that picture (nothing there!). Regardless, when one goes to that much trouble.... replace it all and be done with it!

We checked on the boats.net and saw the housing was obsolete.

Is the housing bad or is it just the vernatherm?
