I have a 1975 johnson 6hp and i replaced my t stat and don't know if the seal should be on top or bottom of tstat? Also if you look at the pic the water in my bucket seems really dirty like theres oil leaking. Is this normal?

Re: Thermostat question

The seal should be on the top. It also looks like your thermo is bad being stuck open like that when cold.
