[C38] engine temp

[mark turner]

But Rob!!! You never use your engine for more than five minutes at any one 
time because it's always quicker for you to sail!!!!! So it should never 
over heat with or without the thermostat!!!! LOL :-)

PS drop me an e and let me know yr plans for the Summer and autumn.
Regards
Mark.
