Re: The complete 272 thread
Most I've seen are 454s. There is one with 350s at the marina where I launch. I think you would be hard pressed to get 60 mph out of 350s , but a lot more room in the engine comp. to work on them. I don't believe they were offered with 365hp only 330s. 292s had 365 Mags optional.

Hey Mopower or Opie 272!
Do you guys know what the length of the drive indicator cables are for the drives?
The morse 33c cables in the boat don't have the any numbers stamped on the red jacket. I figured one of you two have probably replaced them.
Thanks

Thanks for the tip. I just got off the phone with tech support at Formula. The correct lengths are 21' and 22' for the drive indicators. and 18'/23' for the K-Planes.
The motors dynoed at 525 and 522hp. The XS Marine steering is installed, the new dash and Livorsi gauges are almost finished and the second motor will be fully rigged by Saturday. I also removed the k-planes and powdercoated them black. What a bioche to remove!
Last on the list is installing the new indicator cables then installing the Motors, drives and steering rams.
I hope to splash her week after next. By the way, are you running Bravo 1's , Hydromotives or another brand prop?
