Product Overview
An outboard that runs too cool, takes too long to warm, or overheats after impeller and water-flow checks may have a thermostat stuck open or closed. Salt deposits, blocked passages, a weak water pump, sensor faults, and head-gasket problems can cause similar symptoms.
The 17670-90J20 family is commonly cataloged as a 50°C thermostat. It should not be confused with the separate 60°C / 140°F 17670-90J00 or 17670-90J01 family.
Match 17670-90J20 or 17670-90J21, opening temperature, engine model, year, thermostat location, gasket or seal, and serial range. Some engines use more than one thermostat or different temperatures.
