hi.then was the gate valve assembled and tested today.i dont get more then 104°F .is a little unsure if the temperature sensor is the right place.it stands on the intake.

The gate valve should be about 1.5 to 2 turns closed from wide open.
At the dock, idling, SLOWLY close the valve till it's at a stable ~150*F (65*C)
Cruise temp should read 135*-140*F (57*C-60*C) or so...

ok.the gate valv i used was 1\2. i see the 3\4 valve its recommended.?

The reason I like a 3/4" valve is because I feel it affords a better range of flow.

It's just less temperamental.

The proper way to adjust it is to let the engine idle (has to be in the water) and slowly start to close the valve down,  the temperature should start to rise,  once it gets near 140°F- 150°F your should be good.

Take it for a spin and you will likely see the temp drop to between 120°F and 140°F.

If it gets way too cold,  you will need to reduce your outlet fitting inside diameter slightly.
