Evinrude ETEC Thermostat Maintenance / 3 Year 300 Hour Service

Learn how to remove, inspect, clean, and reinstall the thermostats on the Evinrude ETEC outboard boat motor. Follow along and see how easy it is to perform this simple maintenance yourself.
I recommend pulling and inspecting the thermostats yearly, this way they are well lubed and do not have a chance to seize up. Since the thermostat housings are plastic, they have a tendency to break sometimes on older outboards that have not had them removed, do to corrosion.
