Yikes! 200F sounds pretty hot, as boiling temp of water is 212F. Have you tried removing the thermostat (located at the front top end of the cylinder head), running the engine without it, and maybe putting the thermostat in boiling water to see how it operates? This help you determine if the gauge is faulty, or if indeed the thermostat is faulty.
My A4 runs about 160F most times, and I don't have the input valve installed.

Hi Matt
Yes, I'd be interested in having a look at it, hopefully trying to lay it out and look at it. Can you email me your particulars at martis_dan@yahoo.com?
Thanks

Roger: I'd be interested in the 140% genoa, as well as the spinnaker. I've already got a good 170. I'll contact you by email.

Hi Ralph: I put in a bid on Ebay and would be interested in the spinnaker. I'm in Canada. Dan Martis

You can probably use a percentage of your "I" dimension (its around 12 feet) to figure out what size storm sails you need.
That being said, my boat has a 110% working jib that would probably be suitable for winds in the 20-25 knot range. (I haven't used it much on Lake Ontario)
This sail has a luff length of 30'-3" and an LP of 11'3".
I've also got a storm jib (again, never used, but probably good in the 25+ range). Luff length 20'2", LP of 6'7"
Hope this helps!

Do you have any pictures or diagrams of your internal outhaul? I'm going to try and install one similar to the one Towser has posted on the website. Any suggestions on how to improve on this?Dan Martis

Looks like they have a boom for $250:

I just installed one of the units that David suggested into my C&C 27. Installation is straightforward, and it converts automatically from AC to DC power. DC power consumption is relatively low. The cold plate doesn't take too much room in the ice box. Insulating the existing box is key to getting the unit to work well. This can be a challenge - I ended up taking my unit complete apart which ended up destroying the lid. In all - a good solution to refrigeration.
