Thermostat 1977 115 Johnson

[whitejamie99]

I'm having trouble finding a Vernatherm thermostat for my 1977 115HP Johnson. When I look up this part in the online manuals (Sierra and US boat)I keep finding a thermostat # 403 which looks more like a car thermostat - the Vernatherm just a piece of plastic on a spring. Does anyone have or can point me to the right OEM's or a good source. My local marine house is scratching their head on this one.<br /><br />Jamie White<br />whitejamie99@hotmail.com

Try to search for poppet valve. I think that's what OMC calls them. They are beside each thermostat.

Thanks for the reply. I have the poppet valve - that one was easy - but no joy on finding the vernatherm. Who do you use in SA for parts?<br /><br />Go Spurs

Go see Richard at Colburn Marine. Tell him the fire chief sent you.
