I just had a new powerhead installed on my 2006 250xs. After going through the warm-up cycle the original thermostats stabilize and the temperature was 116-120. With the new powerhead and thermostats, the motor now runs at about 127. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks

I understand. The number is 1E000993. Thanks!
Your original powerhead had 120 degree thermostats.
REPLACEMENT powerheads come standard with 130 degree thermostats. Hence the temperature increase.
When running a STOCK configuration (unmodified), there should be no adverse affect from this.
