🔧 Product Description

Genuine BRP Evinrude Johnson 143°F Thermostat Assembly - Part Number: 0435491

A genuine BRP cooling-system thermostat for selected 90HP, 115HP, 150HP and 175HP Evinrude and Johnson two-stroke outboards.

The thermostat begins opening at approximately 143°F or 62°C, regulating cooling-water circulation through the cylinder block and cylinder heads. Correct temperature control helps the engine warm up evenly while preventing excessive operating temperature under load.

• Do not substitute thermostat 0436195 solely because it has a similar temperature rating.

• Grommets, seals, covers, springs and diaphragms are separate unless specifically included.

🔌 Function

The thermostat restricts water flow during warm-up and opens progressively as the engine reaches operating temperature.

Common signs of thermostat failure:

• Engine overheats at idle or under load

• One cylinder bank runs hotter than the other

• Engine remains excessively cold

• Over-temperature warning activates

• Salt deposits prevent the thermostat from moving

• Thermostat remains open when cold

• Thermostat does not open in heated water

• Rubber seal or thermostat frame is damaged

Installation considerations:

• Replace thermostats in matched pairs where the engine uses two

• Inspect thermostat covers and sealing surfaces

• Replace damaged grommets and seals

• Remove salt deposits from the thermostat cavity

• Do not scratch aluminium sealing surfaces

• Confirm the replacement begins opening near 143°F / 62°C

• Check cooling-water flow after installation

• Verify both cylinder-bank temperatures during operation
