Did you ever get the answers your looking for? This is for your Prowler I take it right. I could tell you how I switched my motor mounts in my Prowler to offshore style, and as far as the 525sc questions my buddy has a 98 Prowler I could get all the info from, but just talking with him sounds like the ignition has a few more things with it, maybe because its blown. I just run a simple Thunderbolt IV If you need pic's of the motor mounts just let me know.

I made the alum stringer mounts out of 6" angle 1/2" thick and cut it to make it look like an original - just a little or maybe alot more beefy, maybe an over kill but oh well.

all junk taken out, cleaned up, holes filled in and painted, now just waiting for my lazy butt to finish the motor and drop it in!!

I left out all the details of doing this job, I didn't want to bore everyone, I just gave you guy's the highlights but if anyone has any question I'll be more than happy to try and help you out.
