Does anyone know what the temperature switch is set at on the part that mixes sea water with manifold exhaust. Large cast iron part that connects to the flexible rubber hose.
Generator is 8KW Quicksilver (Generac). I am sure all switches there are similar so does not matter on make or size but should probably be gas generator.
 
Are you asking what the exhaust temp safety trips at?

If so, the raw water side usually trips around 240 degrees for most of the manufacturers at the exhaust elbow. The coolant side usually trips around 210 degrees. Both reset around 10-15 degrees cooler.
 
Thanks PlayDate
It is on a Quicksilver generator and is on the raw water side. It just screws flat to the cast iron mixer part. Now to find one.
