Part Information
- Part Number: 98202
- Brand: Crusader / PCM (Pleasurecraft Marine Engine Group)
- Official Product Type: Copper Thermostat Housing
- System: Engine Cooling System
- Material: Copper
Compatible Applications
- Compatible Crusader and PCM marine gasoline engines where OEM part number 98202 is specified in the parts diagram

Serial Number & Fitment Notice
Always verify fitment using your engine model and serial number against the Crusader or PCM parts diagram. Thermostat housing configurations can vary across engine families and production years. Do not assume fitment based on engine displacement alone.
When to Replace
Replace this thermostat housing when:
- The housing shows cracks, corrosion, or physical damage
- Coolant leaks are traced to the thermostat housing joint
- The housing is being replaced as part of a cooling system overhaul
- Thread damage or sealing surface wear prevents a proper seal
Installation Notes
- Clean all mating surfaces before installation and inspect the thermostat housing gasket — replace the gasket whenever the housing is removed
- Confirm the thermostat and housing gasket are compatible with this housing before reassembly
- Torque fasteners to the specification in the Crusader or PCM service manual for your engine
- Refill and pressure-check the cooling system after installation
Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: This is the correct OEM replacement for Crusader and PCM engine owners who need to replace a damaged, corroded, or leaking thermostat housing while maintaining factory-correct cooling system components. Copper construction provides good thermal conductivity and durability in marine cooling applications.
Common Customer Issue: Customers occasionally order the thermostat housing without also replacing the thermostat housing gasket. Any time the housing is removed, the gasket should be replaced — reusing a disturbed gasket is a common cause of repeat coolant leaks after cooling system service. Confirm the correct gasket part number for your engine before ordering.
