"My new (new take-offs)
"My new (new take-offs) mercruiser manifolds have 4 cooling hoses which seems to be the norm for Merc V-6's... to have 2 hoses to the risers and 2 to the bottom of the manifolds.... Could I run an OMC thermostat housing and just plumb to the bottom like they did on the OMC manifolds? I blew through the riser fittings and they are all connected.
I actually ordered the Merc t-stat hsg off eBay and I was going to plumb it merc style, but I can't with the alternator mounted where it mounts with all the OMC hardware...pic of that predicament..no way can the Merc t-stat fit in there:
