Oil Cooler Shutter on 200HP

[Jeeper]

Hi,
Anyone have experience with installing a single Gate 9 Oil Cooler Shutter on a twin oil cooler 200HP setup ? Assume you would tape off the left side cooler during Winter ? -Mike

I don’t have the gate 9 but I do tape both oil coolers with aluminum tape. I leave it on until usually June here in the NW. Comes off easily when warm after shutdown. Goes back on late september.

I don't have a Gate 9 either, I made my own cooler shutter. If I had a 200 HP, I'd be inclined to install a shutter on both, controlled with one knob.

Received, thanks. Tom let me know how you Like the Performance.

Agree. Unfortunately, the air inlets / arrangement to the individual coolers are different. Not an easy task for the left side oil cooler, by design and by access/ room to fit something in place. Best to tape off the left cooler and install the Gate 9 on the right oil cooler for cold wx operations..

I’m not real familiar with the 200hp layout but would two of these work, one on top of each cooler?

Hi, Thanks for the link, let me see if there is room to slide the flapper in line. Currently have 1 cooler 100% taped shut.

or this works fine its 12V and has endswitches. Works on the 180HP version as well. need the 80mm diameter 12V

I have had two 180 hp Husky’s. One with / one without oil cooler Shutter. The shutter worked well and nice add on. I currently own two 200 hp. The cowl door does good job on quick oil warm ups. I’m in north central Texas and seldom see temperatures as low as zero F but find stock 200 hp cowling very effective in doing what it is intended to do.
