Thermostat gasket
I successfully removed my thermostat today in order to give it what looks like its first vinegar bath ever. In the Moyer Manual and in the online catalog, I don't see anything that looks like the rubber gasket (red arrow) internal to the thermostat housing.
Two questions: 1. What is the rubber gasket called and where do I get a new one? (Maybe it's part of the thermostat itself?) 2. I know I can (and will) order the thermostat gasket from Moyer, but for tomorrow's sail: can I use automotive gasket material and cut my own? Do I need gasket sealer as well? |

What your arrow is pointing at is orange RYV sealant to seal the std thermostat gasket. Easily available from our host or any auto parts store. I would recommend using either Permatex #2 or #1 to the RTV sealants.

Thanks for that and will do!
Any input on a temporary, self-cut gasket for the thermostat housing? |

I cut my own. Works fine. No leaks.
