  While I don't have any suggestions for Tom, I do think we can all 
learn from this incident. I followed the advice of someone else who 
recently lost their otterstat (and coolant) and I used a zip tie 
around my otterstat, in addition to the original metal clip that 
holds it in place. I figure it can't hurt to be cautious and prevent 
something like this. A 25 cent zip tie could end up saving your engine.

This may be a good thing for all owners to do before the drive to 
PR. Why take a chance?
