Removed thermostat housings and found that there was nothing left to them. Both had small peice of metal where themo. would attach to. No thermostats,whould make my motor run hot fast or not. Flushed inside of block found no pieces and inside looks great for bring in saltwater. What is the correct degree for the themo's.

143° F ... if you get Merc stats, there's no choice and yes, they are needed. Don't forget new gaskets as well.
