Oil Thermostat

[Schiada76]

Can anyone recommend a good oil thermostat? I over did it with the mondo oil cooler and can't get my temp up. :D

They are very expensive.
The best thing is to feed the cooler with a pickup on the boat. It will only work when under way. Allows the oil to not be cooled at idle and slow speeds.
Same with the intercooler.
I like to plumb the intercooler and then the oil cooler in series from a pickup under the boat.

Yeah I have Teagues big cooler too. I'll give them a call.
Info, good idea but I don't want to put any more holes in the boat. :D :D

Yeah I think someone on this board has found some that weren't as expensive. Here you can see my Eickert oil thermostat and Eddie Marine oil/pwr steering cooler. The thermostat does work nice though.
