I agree with Peter. I have the book that came with my 1976 F-28 .140 to 165 on raw water. And 165 to 200 on fresh water. |

'Cause mud and other crud doesn't flow through the motor in shallow water.

Is an engine w/a heat exchanger with a raw and fresh water side considered fresh water cooled for the sake of the thermostat? |

Huh! If it has a heat exchanger, it's a FWC motor. Period.

Don...It's not salt v fresh water. Just remember raw water means r-a-w. Water that is right out of the lake. That's how I got it to stick in my mind. Fresh is 'clean' in an enclosed system like your car. They could've used a better acronym. |
