New interior, paint stripped off to all white "stealth graphics" brand new HP transom assemblies, new updated K planes with pumps, both drives gone through, props refinished, freshly rebuilt heads on the starboard engine. All kinds of new goodies throughout! Bring on summer!

Stainless marine. It works just like the 496 exhaust does.
NOTE!!! If anyone decides to change to this set up with the 502's make sure you have the pipe extended about a foot so that the water mixes further back in the exhaust tube. I've heard horror stories about reversion if not.

Ok, ended up with 2 sets of 496 exhaust for my 353. Hoping they exit ok when I get them installed.
To do that, my painter has to give my boat back!
Mine is having an extended winter

Question to all, currently the props spin in, running 32P bravo's with the 1:65 ratio bravo drive. in anything 3 foot and over chop it seems to slam the bow and gets a little squirrelly. would switching the props to spin out help with this? added stability?
I've been reading about switching the props all day and seems I should gain stability and docking manners by turning them to spin out. does anyone know how they were shipped from the factory?
