I think you guys are all missing the point. Raw water cooled engines run cool in an attempt to limit the crap (salts etc.) coming out of solution and clogging up your cooling chambers in the block. They sacrifice efficiency to extend the life of your block. Fresh water cooled engines don't have crap in the cooling water so are able to run at designed (efficient) temps. sam :-) C&C 26 Liquorice Ghost Lake Alberta
Paul, my counter point is that the engine, as Bill Bina put it, was designed to run a certain temp. Presumably that of the existing thermostat. It sounds like the thermostat is close to 150. If you heat the water more than 120-130 there is safety concern regarding scalding. Changed the stat and you also have to change the high temp switch.
