You will not have to reprogram the ECU either...

I have a great line on a Stellings neutral box and IMCO steering that I am going forward with. Just have to find the 2" shorty to complete the project. I do want to add the new CMI e-tops but it may not be this off season.

what does the box have to do with the ecu? I have seen new imco boxes for 1500 to 2000 on here, so I hope the stellings is in that price. also can you still put the stellings up one inch? if you can do it. cause 3'' with the 12'' set back should work best, it did in the 25ol with the 525. running 63 that low you might not see the gains the 525 boat got. well my new drive is a konrad ace x factor, its a shortie by them and should handle the blower motor a lot better than the bravo1x drive I bought last year.keep me posted with pm's or on here

. good luck

From what I have been told from other users with the Stellings box is that in certain instances the universal joints will set off your knock sensor. Now this does not happen in every instance but rather some.

Yes, it is in that range but it also includes IMCO single ram steering.

It is a neutral box so no adjustment. It is coming off a 2002 25 OL that Baja used for a tour boat?? It was installed from the factory.

Setup is the key. You need to know where you are at on the x dimension 1st.

Yes the one I drove was an after thought and did not work. I'm glad to hear that some folks have played with the "X" and actually seen increases in speed and improvements in handling.

As always a lot of good information here.

That looks like me right there Jason.

Adam has it calculated that the prop shaft will end up 1-11/16 inch higher than it is stock.

That is good!
I really wish IMCO would make a -3" SCX drive. That would be what I need.
I can't wait to see your boat all dressed up with a sexy new ass!

Yes, it is used but a Stelling box with IMCO steering.
