Too Much water Pressure

I had mine "ghettoed-up" last year...ran the dumps off the thermostat housing and zip-tied a piece of heater hose so it hung out the side air-vents! Then I routed it more permanently thru a pair of dumps that had been installed for the previous owner's superchargers thru the transom.

I ran across a few here last spring when I posted a 'wanted'.
Ratman had 1 then. I bought 2 of 3 that T/Motorsports had. Way less than that price.
$320? must have been another big price jump. And to think, just a couple yrs ago they were $100 new from Merc. Guess Merc realized they created a problem wtht high pressures( but won't admit it) and now they convienently have the fix at a nice price.
even at $640, you'll be glad you finally got the presure under control. Trust me. Just watch your water pump hose swell when running.
BTW, I have a pt# for springs that will lower the pressure to an even more desirable number that are an exact replacement.

Your lucky day Brian, I'm almost never on here anymore. Read this thread. Bought my springs in stainless from mcmastercarr. Page 5
