Is the silent choice part of the reversion problem? Meaning is water more likely drawn in thru the prop.

Yes and no. Silent Choice is part of the problem, but you will not draw water through the prop hub. The problem is that when you have Silent Choice, you usually have risers that dump water into the exhaust stream sooner, thus increasing the potential for reversion.
TomR, can you get a photo of the risers showing where the Silent Choice diverters hook up? Merc may have used a different setup on the HP motors.

You need 2.75" in front of your crank pulley for a Whipple. Have you measured?
What prop are you running on your 232 and what is your best speed on GPS?

I'm running a '95 502 EFI Mag with aftermarket Gill, SS risers into Corsa silent choice. Thinking of putting big valved iron heads and a roller Cam in this season. What would be a good cam choice?

I could get a photo tonight. The risers are long, they meet the silent choice right at the transom. The silent choice is shaped like an "S" to feed back into the "Y" pipe.
I was thinking of adding overboard dumps and letting some of the water out before the end of the riser pipe. The end of the pipe only has four holes that are maybe 3/8 in diameter.
