what year is my 7.5HP--- BF75L-1701964 major problem at the moment is the thermostant came apart and plugged the passage- retrieved the parts no problem but where can I get a thermostat and gaskets ? it appears to be the same as used in the small Evinrude- I was wondering if making a solid plug same shape and boring a thru hole of 5/16s may well work nearly as good? any comments appreciated. By golly the gaskets certainly are stuck hard to the engine.
