Good info ... thanks

OT: My mercruiser thermostat is 140 F

Because if a raw water cooled boat engine is run in salt water, then the
salt will precipitate out and plug up the engine cooling passages at about
160 degrees. So they run a 140 as standard. My carbed 351W closed
cooling
ran a 160 thermostat. Do not know what the new 350 mpi runs.
