Always clean your cutting board well after poultry and thermostats.
I've been running no thermostat and a bypass valve (fully open) for this winter and my temps never got above 100° on the gauge. A few extra dollars appeared in the boat bank account a little while back so decided to try a Moyer thermostat and new housing. The temps come right up to 160° and stay there no matter the power setting. Objectively through carefully observation the fuel mileage increased 11%. I will not live long enough for this increase in mileage to pay for the thermostat
but subjectively I think the engine runs smoother at that temp. Thanks Moyer for the fine work on the thermostat.
