I need to get a part number for a thermostat for an OMC 2.3 liter engine so I can order one of internet. I have done tons of searching on the internet but to no avail. Can someone help...please. Thanks. The boat is a 1987 Sea Ray.

Question here....
Going back to the part # for the 2.3L OMC thermostat. I checked the link on the first reply and came up with part # 3853799. This thermostat is set to open at 160. Looking at my SELOC manual, for the Ford 2.3L, the thermostat temp is 193. Can anyone make sense of this? I can't find a thermostat that opens at 193 for this engine?

Looking at my SELOC manual,

So, that is just one more mistake in those manuals. 193? is to hot for any marine engine.

193 was the automotive application (Ranger).

160 is the one you want for marine.
