Alberg 35 - FWC - "For those of you interested
in FWC, here's what I've done with mine. I went through all the hassle of
installing a cabin heater and water heater, but could never get water temps
high enough because of the way the late model (thermostat) system works. I
thought about bypass valves and other things, but I wanted a clean set up with
no fuss and as few restrictions as possible. Indigo came out with basically an
old style "Dole" thermostat system that would do what I wanted
plumbing wise. The thermostat works brilliantly and provides an excellent
source of hot coolant for my cabin heater and water heater, so I hope word
spreads over time about it! I think it might be on the wish list for a lot of
people and they are just waiting for the right circumstances. For what its
worth, I'm a big fan of it! I ran my engine hard this weekend and had rock
steady temps."

Catalina 30 "Happenstance" - RWC - "I
am very pleased with the performance of the new thermostat. The engine warms up
much faster and maintains a very steady temperature around 160. Everything is
working perfectly and I am pleased."

FWC - "Your Indigo Atomic 4 fresh water cooling
thermostat kit is terrific! My 1978 Atomic 4 is now running at the correct
temperature, and maintains that temperature constantly. Due to lack of head
room in the mid-cabin engine compartment, I had to modify the original design
just a bit. Your availability to help with the modification was excellent and
all worked well. Thank you for making it possible to run my Atomic 4 without
constantly being concerned about engine temperature. Boating is more relaxed
and fun now."

Islander 32 - RWC - "The thermostat has been
working perfectly, maintaining a steady 150F, with no issues at all. When it
comes to the Atomic 4 engine, Indigo is a life saver, they have the needed
upgrades that made my engine come to life again and runs better than ever.
Thanks Tom!"

Catalina 30 - FWC - "I have installed many
upgrades from your site in my 1981 Catalina 30 such as the mechanical fresh
water cooling, oil filter, electronic ignition, propeller and the thermostat.
All units are working as expected. I'm starting my third season with our
upgraded Atomic 4. The thermostat is built very well and works without flaw. I
was very impressed with the castings and the machining of the parts. Removal of
the thermostat element is a snap if it needed to be replaced or inspected. The
first time I started the engine I was startled how quickly the motor came up to
temperature. After a few more tries I realized this is one of the benefits of
this unit. After it is up to temperature it is rock solid and runs by my gauge
180 degrees. We anchor out often and enjoy hot showers from a short run of the
engine in the morning. With short warm up time the hot water tank is good in
about 15 minutes. Thank you for your upgrades."
