I have the same issue as nightowle and I have the the manual bypass valve installed. The PO removed the thermostat. I once opened the bypass valve and forgot to close it. On my next sail the engine shot up to 200F. I wonder if I should just use that valve occasionally to run the engine hotter to get rid of deposits and moisture? What do you guys think?
