Does anyone have CMI etops on a staggered fountain? I have a 42' with hp500's that I need to replace the merc/gil manifolds and have been thinking of going with the CMI etops. My current setup has taller risers on the forward port engine. Does anyone have any pics or know how these would work?

I have Stainless Marine big headers on my 600 Innovations also in a 42, I will try to get you a picture if it helps at all.

Yeah and while your at it, post some pics of the WHOLE boat!!

yes, pics please!

I would think that if you look thru the classifieds here on OSO you could find some pics of 42's with the staggered set up, most of the boats with 500 EFI's would have CMI's, all of the newer models with 525's would have the CMI's. Many sellers post pics of their engines in their listings.

I looked, but it seems that they all run the sport tubes or big tubes rather than the etops. CMI does have on its website a custom etop where the riser can be any height. Seems kinda weird that nobody has a pic of this setup.

Look for 42's with 500 EFI"s, the only thing Merc used on them were the CMI E Tops, gotta be some on here for sale. I kinda screwed up by mentioning the 525's, they are all the newer style CMI's.
