EMP Stainless Steel Thermostat Kit for Johnson/Evinrude Outboard Motors, 75-02659

The EMP Stainless Steel Thermostat Kit (part number 75-02659) is built for the cooling system of Johnson and Evinrude outboard motors. The thermostat is the component that regulates engine coolant flow, opening and closing to keep the engine within its intended operating temperature range as water moves through the cooling system. Using stainless steel construction helps the internal components resist the corrosion that raw water and marine environments cause over time, which is a common failure point on outboard cooling systems that rely on lower-grade metals.

This kit is intended as a maintenance and replacement part for boat owners and marine technicians servicing the cooling system on compatible Johnson/Evinrude outboard motors. A properly functioning thermostat is important for preventing overheating, reducing engine wear, and keeping the outboard running at its designed temperature. At 0.12 pounds, it is a small, lightweight component sized for routine cooling system service.
