Abstract
A cooling system for an internal combustion engine of a marine propulsion system is provided with a poppet that is overmolded with a resilient sealing material to enhance its sealing capacity. As a result, the pressure within the internal combustion engine cooling passages can be maintained more accurately. Because undesirable leakage past the poppet is more successfully prevented by the overmolded poppet, the cooling system can more accurately regulate the temperature of the engine.
