Thermostat

Thermostat 160 degrees 
Volvo Penta part# 3853799 
Crossover to Sierra pt#183558
Found on Amazon for 18.12 will free prime shipping 
Or at West Marine for 15.49 will free home shipping, but you have to ask for it by calling and asking for free shipping. They wont always give it to you but ask anyway. 

Others found:
Boaters Island for 11.99 plus shipping 
Ebay for 12.19 plus 8.95 shipping (not worth it!)

I bought mine at West Marine best price with no shipping.

Exhaust Manifold

As I stated in my last post, Change your Impellers! a $30 part cost me much more. Being cheap I only changed mine when I needed to. Not a good Idea. I will change them every year without fail. Overheated, cracked the exhaust manifold, blew the head gasket. Here are the replacement parts at some great prices.

Volvo Penta pt# 3858870 $499-608 oem 
Replacement pt# OMC-1-3858850 Barr Marine $275.00 plus $30 shipping to San Diego Ca. 

Tim at manifoldwarehouse.com Hooked me up. Direct Link Here now the website says $333 
but call them and ask for a better price. By the way don't be afraid  to ask parts dealers for 
better pricing the worst they can do is say is no.
