I have a 2004 F25 outboard with 300 hours that has been flushed with the built in flush kit after every use. Recently it has lost some water pressure and I pulled the thermostat to find that out that the inside of the thermostat has a lot of salt build up. The other side was clean.
I am assuming that the flush kit doesn’t really allow that side to get cleaned? I am sure with cold water and the engine not running the thermostat will not open.
The tell tale seemed to have some trash that I cleared and it started pumping well again.
I am going to replace the impeller, but can you run this engine without the thermostat? I am on the gulf coast in hot weather.
Thanks for your time!
