temp switch part #........help

[bretto]

I cant seem to come up with a part # for a temp switch that closes at 210*. This is going in a '93 4.3 liter OMC engine that I am wiring in a buzzer. I can find temp switches all day long at the auto parts for specific vehicles but there are no specs on what the temps are. Any one have any ideas? Seems that the threads are generally the same but I dont want to have to buy a buch different ones and have to test them all out. Besides most joints dont like to take returns on electrionic parts.
Thanks,
Brett

I've purchaced them from NAPA before. Just tell them you want a NO (Normally Open) Temperature switch that closes at somewhere between 200? and 220?.
You can also get one from your local Mercruiser dealer. PN 48952
