Hi all. Under the thermostat housing are 2 springs that apply pressure to 2 plastic/rubber thingies. Can anyone tell me what they are for please.

Pressure releif valves most likely. As long as your looking at them might as well replace them, as I recall there not very expensive. You can find engine diagrams and parts lists for your motor at iShopMarine.com, click on parts lists and find your motor. :)
