    I am the member who sent the OMC/BRP thermostat to Bucaneer. It is a full stainless steel part from a later model motor. The earlier thermostat #378065 SS to #5005440 I believe. I agree with Mumbles you do not want to be too hot or risk deposits in your cooling system from salt water. Fleetwin I sent it with some other parts that I figured he needed to replace in an engine of that age to make a good running and idling engine.
