I am needing a thermostat housing For my Volvo 3.0l. I have searched the boatfix catalog and came up with nothing. Engine is a 2000 Penta 3.0GS PEFS. Part number on the current is 3857801. Google came up with nothing relevant. Can someone point me to the correct part from boatfix? Thanks.
 
Is this the part you are looking for? If so available on eBay in UK !

If the old one is just rusty soak it in dilute muriatic acid for a short while.

Why does it have to be boatfix?

I found the part in 10 seconds using google.
 
I would prefer boatfix for many reasons. I couldn't find it via google at all, did you use the part number? Thanks.
 
Yes, I googled - "volvo penta thermostat housing part # 3857801"
 
Les agrees the BF website needs overhaul. Question of when... I tried to look it up too, no joy.

Help Desk Ticket, I guess.
 
AJ, curious, was the part I posted in my post the item you were looking for ??
 
Sorry Bob, it is very similar, but not quite the same. I will post a pic of mine when I get home for comparison. I appreciate the help. I put a HD ticket in and will hope for the best.
 
Looking at it again, it looks to be the same part, however mine appears to have 2 additional outputs tapped into it. See pics for reference. I am thinking I may just try to clean this one up. I was going to replace it because of the rust.

Looks like its going to be easier to clean up this one then replacing it (its not all that bad). Someone mentioned using diluted muriatic acid. IS this a good way to go? Is there something else I can/should use. Its mostly just rust buildup. Thanks.
 
CLR is good for rust. Available at any grocery/hardware store and very safe. Follow directions.
