  • Thermostat housing assembly for a marine engine
    Patent number: 5329888
    Abstract: A thermostat housing assembly for a marine engine having a first inlet to receive sea water and an outlet that is connected to a circulating pump that circulated cooling water to the engine. A baffle is located in the housing and prevents direct flow between the sea water inlet and the outlet. The housing defines a pair of passages with a first of the passages providing communication between the sea water inlet and forms a first chamber which communicates with a pair of manifold outlets that are connected to the manifold. A second of the passages provides communication between the sea water inlet and the outlet to the circulation pump. The housing also includes a return inlet for returning water from the engine and the return inlet is connected to the second passages.
