[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 344295, member: 3278"] The thermostat warms the engine at idle and low speeds. This creates the best idle possible and also reduces the possibility of condensation forming in your engine while running. Once up on plane the major volume of water by passes the thermostat and cools the engine. I normally use gasket sealing compound as a lubricant to install the deflectors....and needle nosed pliers. Bet if you check those water temps you will have much less than 72 right now.....we are in the high 50 temps in the lakes just North of you. Fishing has been slow as a result. BTW - there is an Antique Outboard event on Lake Alfred next weekend if interested. Will be a one day event on the 22nd. [/QUOTE]
