Well 4 months later and I've finally got a chance to look into the thermostat and yes it was stuck open. We'll see if it's fixed once spring arrives and we can get out. Thanks for the help people!
So I replace the impellor in my 1998 15HP 4-Stroke Merc (OG674558) this spring and, in the process of reinstalling the lower unit up into the outboard, the small round coil (spring) that is seated around the lower lip of the crankcase seal, came out with the shaft. Would this be enough to allow...

Well I got her buttoned up, primed the fuel and it started immediately. Initial timing was at 15° BTDC but it ran SO SUPER SMOOTH!!! Sounded like a different engine!
