00:00Best Outboard Thermostat Kits Under $30 Video Script, 7 Paragraphs, 1,55 Total
00:06If your outboard runs hot one afternoon and stone cold the next, the thermostat is usually the
00:11reason and the fix costs less than dinner. I sifted through the top sellers and found
00:165 kits that all land under $30. Let's get into them.
00:21First up, this thermostat repair kit for Nissan Tohatsu Outboards.
00:26The reason this one made my list is coverage, one kit replaces 3H6-01030-0, 350-01030-1,
00:35345-01030-1, and 346-01030, so it covers a bunch of different Nissan Tohatsu engines without a
00:44second order. It comes in at $11.60, sits right under the budget, and has thousands of 5-star
00:50reviews behind it. Grab this if you own a Tohatsu and want one part number to memorize.
00:56Next, the 340975 and 340976 thermostat kit for Johnson and Avinrude.
01:04Here s the thing, this kit fits 65, 80, 85, 88, 90, 100, 112, and 115 horsepower V4 S, and
01:12it replaces the
01:13older 18-3673 part. That s a huge engine range for $21. If you ve got an older 4-cylinder
01:22Avinrude and
01:23you re tired of overheating on the lake, this is a no-brainer. Then there s the TM0435597 kit,
01:30and this one surprised me the most. It s not just a thermostat, it s a thermostat and cover kit,
01:36so you get the housing cover included and don't need to hunt down a separate piece.
01:40It fits 90 in 115 horsepower V4 S plus 150 in 175 horsepower V6 S, and it replaces 435597.
01:512779 is the most expensive on this list, but bundling the cover makes it worth it.
01:57Fourth is the 803060 T1 for Mercury and Mariner. It replaces 803061 T1 and comes with the
02:05thermostat and gasket together, rated at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. 1920 flat, and honestly for
02:12a brand like Mercury where the original parts cost an arm and a leg, this is a straight win for
02:17the
02:17budget. Skipped, B-roll list, timestamps, outro CTA variants, add when edit starts.
02:24Note to self, verify part numbers against OEM charts before publishing, product 1 and product 5 overlap on
02:30Nissan Tohatsu, keep the HP range split clear in the edit so it doesn't read as a duplicate
02:35recommendation.
