[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 376904, member: 3278"] The thermostat in a Johnson or Evinrude does not control the total flow of water in your engine. It is designed to operate at idle and just above and is there to warm the engine at idle to increase idle smoothness and to run warm enough in cold water to keep condensation in the cylinders to a minimum. Anything above idle, your engines water flow drastically increases and basically by passes the thermostat and cools the powerhead back down. [/QUOTE]
