Key Features

• Part number 807252T5

Engine Compatibility
Mercury lists 807252T5 for all GM V8 and V6 sterndrive and inboard engines built with standard cooling systems from 1987 to 2016. Dealer listings also tie it to MerCruiser applications in that family, including common GM-based V6 and V8 packages, but exact fitment should still be confirmed by engine model and serial number before ordering.

Serial Number Fitment Notice
Please confirm compatibility in the Mercury Parts Catalog or by exact engine serial number before purchase. Thermostat kits can vary by cooling system type, so matching the exact OEM part number is the safest way to avoid a standard-cooling vs. closed-cooling mismatch. This caution is based on Mercury specifically defining 807252T5 as a standard cooling system kit.

When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this thermostat kit when the engine is running too cool, too hot, warming up slowly, showing unstable operating temperature, or when the thermostat housing is opened during cooling-system service and the sealing components are being renewed. That service context is an inference from the part being sold as a complete thermostat kit with seals and gaskets.

Installation Notes
This kit is intended as a service-ready replacement and includes the sealing components needed for installation. Use it only on the exact MerCruiser application that calls for 807252T5, and confirm the engine uses the 160°F standard-cooling setup before ordering.

Alternate / Superseded Part Numbers

• 807252T5
• Common cross-reference listings also associate this kit with 807252Q5 and 807252T8 in the same 160°F MerCruiser thermostat family, but the safest match for this listing is the exact OEM number 807252T5.

Parts Desk Insight
Thermostat kits are one of those parts where getting the right temperature rating and cooling-system type matters more than the housing looks. On GM-based MerCruiser engines, the correct 160°F standard-cooling kit helps the engine reach and hold the operating temperature Mercury intended.
