no thermostat,,, now running digitron with temp so will know,,,, about 4 or 5 of us have same prob up here sooo just not me,,,, mmmm will check some previous posts i guess ,,,,,

[Powerabout]

is that with stock 49 rods or Mod 50 length?

[formeone]

stock 49 rods and wiseco"s hec have taken stock evinrudes apart and seen cracked skirts also!!

[Fast Fred]

sounds cold to me, with out a 6 pack front 1/2 she will not make enough BTU's to over come the coolin system without a thermo. runs cold, needs temp to expand and make the clearances needed.

the film clip, SST60 cases New, new wisco's, all tricked out inside. she's got a thermo, needs it to hold a runnin temp. the 75hp thermo set up is trick, got a thermo and two relief valves, if you don't have a Mod50 front 1/2 setup, you need a thermo. or she will not get up to temp.

Fred are you running the stock reed set up on that sst60 or is that a mod56.i have been toying around with differnt reeds for the stock cages like differnt reed meterial like carbon fiber,plastic,custom cut metal just about every thing you can think of. Is that going on a raft for somebody?
