Abstract
A cooling system of a marine propulsion device is provided with a valve that directs alternative flows of cooling water to portions of the marine propulsion system and apportions the cooling water flows in response to the speed of the water pump used to draw water from a body of water. Increasing pressures within the structure of the valve body change the proportion of water flowing through first and second coolant paths as engine speed increases.
