Re: 1996 Force 75 - I Need Help?
Pop off the motors hood and directly over the plugs on the head you'll see a small retangular box with a hose coming out of it. It is held in place with 4 screws. Remove those screws and the T-stat is held in there with a spring. Remove T-stat noting which end is facing towards you. Put T-stat in pot of water and turn on heat. You'll see it open if it is good, if not, replace T-stat. <br />Also, check that small hose, should not be clogged. Reassemble.<br />Water pump impleller is in lower unit, should be changed yearly on these motors. You'll need a manual as the procedure is too lenghty to explain but is fairly simple. Try your local library for a copy.
