Re: Choosing an appropriate engine
Tach, water temp, oil pressure, volts, fuel, trim, at a minimum.
Oil temp, fuel pressure, water pressure are optional and not really need on a stock 496.
Depth finder and GPS speedo are nice to have.
With a 496 you can get the Smartcraft monitor and you really don't need gauges. The gauges look cool though!

i dont know why anyone bought anything bigger here.

i wanted a direct fit thats why i think the 496 would be a good option regarding modification and power, also there are a few used in the classifieds that seems to be a bargain
what kind of gauges would i'll need in order to monitor the engine at a certain level?

Re: Choosing an appropriate engine
yeah there is a merc dealer but i think the price of a new 496 ho here will be twice the price of a new 496 ho in the states
having a look under the classifieds there are some 496 ho for sale in the range of 12000-13000 which seems to be very nice

i also send an email to the local mercury dealer and the price i got for a stock 496 HO with a bravo 1 drive was $40000
that's why a used engine from the states would save a lot of money
