Canton Oil T-Stat
Has anyone used this Oil T-stat?
It opens at 215 degrees and is sized for -12 O-Ring fittings.
Looks like a contender.

Hudson,
Everything Rat said and, "Have you used it in a Marine application?
"Does your oil come up to temp quickly and does it stay steady or does it have a swing? What is the displacement and HP of your setup"
Any reply is appreciated.

I just put them in my Cat.... let ya know if I ever get it finished.
TRICK Marine hooked me up.
There coupled to massive coolers not visisble in picture.
I can tell you it looks like a quality peace. I like the 215 temp
right above the boiling point of water.

Russ,
Looks like a nice piece to me. I still havent run the boat with the new oil cooling system. I did run it on the hose in the driveway, but it never got up to temperature. I splash it first week of May. I'll let you know how it worked out.

RLW,
I the pic above it looks like the oil filter is part of the system/T-STAT? Or do you have to run hoses from the t-stat to the filter pad?

Re: Canton Oil T-Stat
You guys are too funny. Just wanted to know if you were looking to buy it or you were having a problem with it before I responded. I ran one of those for three years and had great sucess. Had a problem when I first bought it, the thermostat would not open, oil temps of 300+ 
Pulled thermostat and boiled it, found out it was no good. Bought a 210 degree stat and saw temps on guage of 240 before it would open and cycle back to 200 degrees. The guage was electric but I got used to it. Just a little scary watching the guage climb. Overall, i think it is a nice piece, I really liked changing the oil w/ no mess. Mount it high so you can get to the oil filter easily, no mess!!!
