Got it, Thanks. But the thermostat is located at the bottom of the motor on mine, just above the skid plate.

I had the same thing happen with the knob. Was very puzzled, then figured out it turned another 1/4 turn! Just dont break it cause of me ok.

azdak means there is a drain plug on your thermostat housing "at the bottom of the motor just above skid plate". I think thats what he means, I didnt notice it on mine, but will look.
