Default 575 Thermostat Housing

Does anyone make an aftermarket replacement for the 575 sci thermostat housing? These things corrode in no time. Either a billet or stainless steel one would be really sweet. I flush and use Salt Away religiously but nothing seems to help.

I've talked to Hardin, CP and few others but can't find anything other than Merc. and they are way too proud of them.

Thanks

CMI makes a bigger version for better/more water flow. they don,t list it in their catalog. But just call them. I have personally used it on two different motors and it works great. No, I don't remember what I payed for it, but it was well worth whatever I did.
