Are saying that if your engine is boosted rev limiters are no good? I have a procharger on my 502, I know that if your fuel pump breaks you can blow your engine becasue if you run out of gas you can over heat an engine witht he procharger and blow the engine, The original owner put a second fuel pump on it, incase the one built on to the engine fails. so the boat runs with 2 fuel pumps at all times |
thanks for the site

Take a look at Merc's ITS (Intergrated Transom System) it has 7" of setback and steering built in. Kill two birds with one stone. I saw some used ones in the classifieds not too long ago.
http://www.mercuryracing.com/accesso...nsomsystem.php I checked it out alittle. It look like a great set up. I have to really go thru it. |
the system

I think as far as cost goes, if you bought a box and steering seperate, the price would be similar. I have ITS on my boat. I bought it used so I'm not positive of the original cost.
How do you like the system? |

As far as the performance of the box, that's hard to say. I seem to be running around the same speeds as the same hull / power without a box. The boat runs good in rough or flat water so I'm happy. |

but we are talking about the STOCK rev limiter. if you have a MSD ignition rev limiter thats differnt. |
ive got a imco box and raised x-dimension on my 24 with dual sterreing coming off the box and about 700 hp from a whippled 496 the boat performs awesome but ive never had the boat in very rough water

The problem with redundant anything where they both run at the same time and the engine will run the same on only one is that You won't know that one is dead untill they both are.

Yes, on the 502 mag, the rev limiter is a fuel cut, not a spark/timing cut. it will lean out a motor with a quickness...
but we are talking about the STOCK rev limiter. if you have a MSD ignition rev limiter thats differnt. Since i have a procharger on the boat, I will be definitly going with the msd box, as back up incase I leave the water with the boat. The boat came with the procharger, but the owner couldn't get the timing with the rev limiter so he never put it on. But since you said it is a fuel cut then the engine would still blow up. So I guess it happened for a reason. So now I know to get a msd box instead of a rev limiter. If I get a msd box , I shouldn't need a rev limiter correct? Becasue it won't help in my situation. |
