Hello All! It"s been a good while since I've participated in this great forum. Retirement has elevated my workload.

During this past summer my RTV overheated a few times. Some of you may remember previous similar issued that occurred on my boat. This time instead of replacing the thermister again, I grounded the conductor to the thermister to the frame. The results in the coolant fan to operate whenever the key switch is on. No more overheating!

I was fortunate in stopping the RTV prior to severe overheating.

Some of you recommended this approach, for which I thank you. Furthermore, a locate dealer was struggling to correct an overheating issue for a customer. They replaced related components to still have this issue. The past decision they shared with me was to power the coolant fan from the key switch. I let them in on our secret. Not sure how they went.

Best wishes to all! Philip
