The T-stat is on the very top of the motor in the front (fan belt side). It's directly above the raw water pump and has sort of an oval shape with 2 bolt heads one on either side. It has at least 2 hoses going to it and maybe 3 IIRC.

JRO, unless you are having issues with temp, don't bother changing the thermostat. More folks create problems by changing the t-stat than solve problems. :)

Just a friendly word of advice -

Hi, we are on Canandaigua Lake. I must say it is a jewel. The water is great and super clean with zero weeds and super deep to boot. Hope your kids have fun up at Gradma's not to mention you must be having a blast. Enjoy your summer.

Well that is the thing. My temp warms up to 175-180 then right down and holds 170 steady when the t-stat opens. I figure it should hold 160. no? Any Ideas.
