Omc 25 Hp , Thermostat Or Not ?

[DonChichoJr.]

Hi, I Would Like To Know If Running An Omc 25 Hp, 1999, 2 Cyl. Without The Thermo. Would Be O.k.
I´m Running That Ponny On A 12' Small Boat , "always" At Full Throttle . The Engine Only Run On A Fresh Water ( Florida Area).

Using 93 Octane Gas, At 30 Degrees Timing With A Pennzoil Synthetic Blend Oil At 40-1 .

Thanks,
Don

I dont think youll gain anything w/o the thermostat. Running cold will not make power is the general idea while 'just right' [whatever temp that is] will help.. probably near where the thermostat is.
