Thermostat for a 1986 75 HP

[truhl_58]

I am having a hard time finding a thermostat for my 1075716 MERCURY 1986 75 S/N OA994493 outboard. I would like to find a kit with the thermostat and gaskets. I am not sure that the thermostat is the problem but I never get anything but cold water out the pee hole and it takes forever to warm up. Should warm water come out the pee hole after a while ? Any help would be great.

Thanks

Its a 4 cyl. I will quit looking thanks for the info.. What would be a normal water pressure? And will the water ever get warm at the pee hole ?

What would be a normal water pressure?

1-3 psi at idle and about 8-10 psi at WOT....

And will the water ever get warm at the pee hole ?

Depending on when you check it, after a long run or excessive idling it may be fairly warm but it will never be hot...
