after working through overheat problems (it was the water tube grommet) now i see the thermostat needed for the motor is called a 120 does that mean it opens at 120F that would be 48.5C,the thermo i have which i tested opens at 60c is this correct for this motor or should i order the 120 themo cheers and thanks for reading

As we metric Canadians know, 60C is 140F. A 14586 thermostat (120F) should be opening within a few degrees of 120F. Replace it- your outboard will thank you.
