525SC Carbs
I have a couple questions if anyone can help regarding Merc 1050 Dominator Carbs that were original equipment on the 525SCs:
1. What is stock merc jetting and PV on these carbs?
2. How is the boost referenced power valve achieved and how can I tell if some 1050 blue carbs are actually blower carbs?

98's and 6.5's is correct. Stock jetting is rich. Not sure about the boost referencing. Mine did have a hose and pvc valve going to the carb base. My jetting was stock with 98's even with 7.5-8#'s of boost and it was fine. Went up about 4 sizes when added a roller cam.

Blue Thunder- What jetting was in your carb? 98's? .... Does your carb have Power valves or not?
I have re-jetted many of these engines. I would run 93 jets square with a 6.5 power valve in the primary and 5.5 in the secondary. From stock jetting , on average the boat will pick up about 2 sometimes 3 MPH. Mercury likes to flood engines with fuel. I hope this helps.

They have 98s square and 6.5 front and back. They were supposed to be stock and I just wanted to make sure. I was curious why merc would choose not to do the boost referencing? Do you boost reference MrHP when lowering the jets and PVs?

The other thing I want you to do is set the float levels with the bowl off. Invert the bowl (up side down) and with a pin gauge or clean drill bit, set the floats at 23/64 or .3594 measured in the center of the float/bowl. This will correctly set the floats so they are not too low or too high. The gauge should just slip under the top of the float.
