Is the "normal" reading for the thermal switches (1993 250TXRR) open circuit or closed circuit? If they are a variable resistance, what is the correct resistance value range?

Greg,
The thermo switches are normally open. They are designed to close at around 185 degrees. No variable resistance in between.
Good luck,

Thanks. I have one with a broken lead and have been waiting 3 weeks for replacments. Looks like I should be able to run the motors with the open circuit while I wait if I watch the temps close.

Greg,
I have a temp gauge sensor mounted in the top of the starboard cylinder assy on my 2000 C115. I had the thermo switch on the port side go bad (was closing at 130, giving me false overheat signal), so I just replaced it with the good one from the starboard side until I could get a new one in. Heck, I ran it that way for several months. I had protection on both sides of the V-block. You might consider doing the same until you get the new one in.
Good luck,
