I've owned a 2008 200hp Opti, 2004 200hp Opti, and now a 2013 250hp Opti. I have used all three in the same ways in the same waters. I have never ever had an alarm or warning on any of the other motors for tstat issues. After 22 months of ownership, I have had 7-8 tstat alarms and have had to clean or replace the tstats 7-8 times. I do fish very grassy lakes with a lot of timber, but I have used all three motors in the same lakes.
Why so many issues with this motor's Tstats??? I have searched BBC and Google and cant find an answer. Engine info below.
Thanks in advance,
Robby
