THERMOSTAT 130 CHRYS/FORCE - 18-3556 is a valve in an outboard's cooling system that responds to temperature by opening or closing. The operational temperature rises when it is closed because the flow of cooling water through the outboard is interrupted.
When the temperature rises, it opens, letting coolant flow through the outboard and bringing the operating temperature down. It alternately opens and closes to keep the motor at the proper operating temperature. It maintains the engine cool and makes sure that fuel combustion maximized to produce the most power with the least amount of fuel used.
