525sc package
I'm looking at a 382 formula with 525scwith bravo drives.Any problems with this package and what should I look for,it has only 371 hrs on it .Don't know much about this engine so looking for feedback on it such as engine life,fuel requirements,oil requirements and does the 525s come with stainless headers from merc.

By the way - what does your 382 run with 500 efi's. And do you know what it would run with 525s?

I think you are talking about the older 525SC motors.They were one of the best motors built at the time. Ran like a clock and very bullet proof. If I recall correctly, a light freshen up would probably be a good idea.

525SC is a great motor !!!! But with 371 Hours I would hope that someone have already done something to them or it must be done now. I will say they are good for 250-300 hours before rebuild. Of course everything depends on how they are treated.

Discontinued in 1997 but still dropped in new boats as late as 1999 and even 2000.
Mercury commisioned Troy Dennis to help develop the engine. Extremely durable and good for a ton of hours with reasonable maintainence.
