Bass..... If those coils are actually melting, it would have been caused by overheating. Check the retaining bolts to see if they're loose. Many coils simply appear that way.... soft epoxy, etc.<br /><br />The water leakage is a common problem. Remove that thermostat cover, clean the metal surfaces, clean and reuse the diaphram if possible. Apply a slight bit of "Marpox Sealer 1000", also available under the mfg name of "Boat Armor Sealer 1000" to the outside diameter of the diaphram when re-installing it (seals it fine). Of course use a new gasket on the cover.
