I had to trim the top of the tabs to get it to fit but it went right in. Now my /6 225 runs at 180 consistently and I only use the fan when I shut the engine down. It likes to spike well over 200 after a trip and then give me idle trouble until I get moving again. The other thing I did was to put the stock air dam back on which helps cool the rear of the engine greatly. If you can't find the stock air dam, there's actually a hood scoop on Summit that fits on perfectly when mounted upside down and works just as well.
Which hood scoop were you referring to? Do you have a Summit part #?
Thanks...
