Quick way to test a thermostat is to get a pan with boiling water. Use some pliers to lower the thermostat in the bouling water. SEE if it opens or not. If not it's broken. Use the pliers tobpull it out of the hot water. Then douche it with cold water. SEE if it closes or not. If not it's broken.
Hi Guys. Congrats on the new waterpump..To give new life to plastic hoses, and perhaps other things like impellers. Brush Fishing Fly line conditioner .onto them, and for pipes, internally as well. It's a plasticer, and the plasticiciser they contain when new leeches out, drying the plastic and making it vulnerable to cracking, and therefore leaking - I have used a lot of it on Flylines, had it greatly extended the line service life, but haven't had a chance to Test it on boat stuff yet, but it should work, and be worthwhile trying Great tip on Yesting thermostats below, plus worth getting a backup bit of pipework as someone suggested. A very interesting weather forecast from Mr Weatherman right now about a weeks warning of a possible hurricane incoming, with that high pressure atea moving off towards the Azores - Any Thoughts ? Best Wishes. Bob in Walesstill.🤔🌟🌟🌟👍❤️ eta fixed various typos.
100% agree. 14 years on last pump. Others we spoke to are replacing them every 4-5 years when buying knock off versions. Just somethings we figure you shouldn't cheap out on. Happy Summer!

A new WP Hose would be good to have for a backup 😊
OEM is the only way to go on a boat⛵

Good episode. I was wondering, so as to be most useful to other boaters, trying to get stuff working. How many hours on the Yanmar?
