Compatibility / Fitment Guide
Compatibility basis:
| MerCruiser | Selected GM-based 3.0L, 4.3L V6 and V8 engines whose parts list specifies the 160°F 8M0091470 / 807252 family. |
| Crusader | Compatible closed-cooled V8 applications whose parts list specifies Crusader 97895. |
| Cooling-system check | The system must require a 160°F thermostat. Raw-water and closed-cooling versions can use different ratings and housings. |
| Required confirmation | Engine serial number, thermostat housing diagram, original part number and temperature stamped on the removed thermostat. |
| Not for | Engines requiring 140°F, 143°F or another rating, or housings that need a different thermostat design. |
Replacing only the thermostat may not resolve overheating. Inspect housing passages, gasket/seal, circulation pump, seawater supply and exhaust cooling as appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit every MerCruiser V6 or V8?
No. The serial-specific cooling-system parts list must specify this 160°F thermostat family.
Can it replace a 140°F thermostat?
No. Use the temperature rating specified for the exact cooling system.
Is a gasket included?
Do not assume so; one thermostat is supplied unless additional components are visibly included.
Does it fit Crusader engines?
Only applications specifying Crusader 97895 and a 160°F thermostat.
What else should be checked during installation?
Inspect the housing, seal surfaces, coolant or seawater passages and the removed thermostat for the cause of failure.
Confirm the engine serial number, cooling-system type and 160°F rating before purchase.
