Xtreme Remote Engine & Transmission Oil Thermostat 180 Degree
Traditionally engine or transmission oil is continuously run through a cooler
or heat exchanger to prevent the engine or transmission oil from
overheating Obviously this system works well but it does not compensate
for the variables involved such as the water temperature your boating in, the
size and efficiency of your coolers or how long it takes you to warm up your
engine to bring it to proper operating temperature.
By installing a remote oil thermostat the oil will bypass the cooler until it
reaches a pre-determined temperature at which point it will internally open and
begin flowing the oil thru the cooler to maintain a constant oil operating
temperature The Hardin Marine Xtreme oil thermostat can either be
remotely mounted with 2 stand-off bushings or it can be connected directly
to the oil cooler or remote filter head with a custom Hardin Marine coupler
fitting.
The drawing below shows the route your oil will take with the remote
thermostat installed:
