Installation Guide

  1. Ensure the engine is completely cool before beginning any work. Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental starting.
  2. Locate the thermostat housing on your Chrysler or Force outboard motor. It is typically positioned near the cylinder head.
  3. Remove the thermostat housing cover by loosening the mounting bolts or screws. Carefully lift the cover away.
  4. Remove the old thermostat and inspect the housing for corrosion or debris. Clean the mounting surfaces thoroughly with a scraper and solvent.
  5. Remove and discard the old gasket and seal. Ensure no remnants remain on the mating surfaces.
  6. Install the new F84504 thermostat seal into the designated groove or position in the housing.
  7. Place the new F528068 110-degree thermostat into the housing, ensuring proper orientation (check valve direction if marked).
  8. Position the new 517-31 gasket onto the thermostat housing, aligning all bolt holes correctly.
  9. Reinstall the thermostat housing cover and hand-tighten the mounting bolts. Torque bolts to manufacturer specifications in a crisscross pattern.
  10. Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant or water mixture as specified in your engine manual.
  11. Reconnect the battery and start the engine. Allow it to reach operating temperature and check for leaks around the thermostat housing.
  12. Monitor engine temperature during initial operation to confirm the thermostat is functioning correctly.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I know if this thermostat kit fits my Chrysler or Force outboard?
A: Check the compatibility table above to confirm your engine model, HP, and year match the listed applications. This kit is designed specifically for motors with a poppet relief valve in the block—verify your engine has this feature before ordering.

Q: What are the signs that my thermostat needs replacement?
A: Common symptoms include engine overheating, running too cool (below normal operating temperature), poor fuel economy, or steam/coolant leaks from the thermostat housing. If your engine temperature is erratic or outside the normal range, inspect the thermostat.

Q: How often should I replace the thermostat on my outboard motor?
A: Thermostats should be inspected annually and replaced every 2-3 years or as needed based on performance. If you notice temperature irregularities or the thermostat fails a boiling water test, replace it immediately regardless of age.

Q: Can I reuse the old gasket and seal when installing this thermostat?
A: No, always use the new gasket (517-31) and seal (F84504) included in this kit. Reusing old gaskets can result in coolant leaks and improper sealing, leading to engine overheating or damage.

Good product but smell doesn't last
Cleans and rinses great, does not dry out your skin. Smell great, not as strong as the Italian Bergamot, nor does it last after showering. Once you dry off, smell pretty much gone. Bergamot lasts a little better

Beyond my expectations…
Scent: Incredible 10/10. The entire shower smells like a spa afterwards. Woody notes, vanilla scent is deliciously heavy and warm, and even one pump delivers a punch of fresh vanilla scent to your entire body. I’m a woman who is in love with heavy earthy scents and this is it! P.S it also matches well with scents like vanilla, cocoa butter, chocolate, or even delicious “smore” scents! I pair it with vanilla and cocoa butter scented deodorant, vanilla perfume, or vanilla body lotion and it works amazing! Longevity: Lasts the entire day if I’m staying home just relaxing, not working out or sweating very much. I could shower in the early morning and by the time my head hits the pillow I still smell it faintly! If I’m out and about it still lasts hours I’d estimate around 6-8 hours before the scent fades! If I shower at 6am, come home at 5pm-6pm after work I still smell fresh! (I always shower 2x a day but you don’t even need to with this! Value for Money/Size: Oh absolutely! I think I bought this soap two weeks ago? Used it nearly every day, and you can’t even tell! One pump is enough, two pumps MAX per shower per day. I decided to lavish myself by buying this soap, because it’s a bit more pricey. But it’s actually saving me more money, at this rate I’ll be buying another one of these every 3 months! So that’s…4 times a year? 5 max? That’s incredible. I’ll probably stick with Cremo for life honestly. And I’m a woman!💕🎀

High Quality and Smells Great!
This is so far superior to the standard soaps that you buy off the shelf in a supermarket. It creates a truly luxurious lather and smells fantastic without being obnoxious or perfume.

Pastorally edifying & personally encouraging
Format: Kindle
As a pastor and a biblical counselor, I’ve read Powlison many times. I know people who knew him personally. He is a man of nearly mythic proportions in the 2026 landscapes of biblical counseling. And so, based the current landscape of the BC movement at the dawn of 2026, I thought it was to revisit Powlison myself. This is an excellent little read. Recommended for ALL pastors and counselors.
