Dredgeking,
A local marina has been giving me 20% off list. I would think Dollar or Bam would also be doing at least 20% off. Mike from Dollar treated me great and had a great price on my drives. There was also a post in the for sale section from a marina in Canada that said he could save us some money because of the exchange rate. I never got around to calling him and can't remember his name.

And I just bought a kit from a Searay dealership yesterday for a sweet tune of $95

candyman35,
99 27' 502 MPI. 30-35 psi at wot just like the test sheet says.
Took apart my manifold/risers for the EGT probe mod for the Whipple install, lo and behold, rust spots in manifold. Cyls 3 and 5 the worst. Contemplating what to do next. I'm considering CMI's but the credit card's getting maxed!

Breathe Later,
I saw the pictures of your manifolds. When you winterize do you drain the block, leave water in it or use antifreeze? You wouldn't think they would rust through like that.
You are running some high water pressure numbers. Fountain claims that 35 lbs. should be ok. They did inform Mercury that they thought 35lbs was high and Mercs response was it within limits.
If your Whipple has an intercooler with a dump it should reduce the pressure. Let us know how the project works out.
Thanks,
Dan

candyman,
Winterize has been with real antifreeze-the green stuff with corrosion inhibitors. The boat is stored inside on of our warehouses that is maintained at 60 degrees. The rust inside the manifolds was caused by a leaky manifold to riser gasket. A small leak weeps water inside the exhaust manifold where it has a straight shot to the two inner exhaust ports. Mine was fairly minor as I caught it early enough. Since we have all sorts of neat stuff at work like a bore scope, I was able to peer inside the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Not enough water leaked to get inside the cylinder.
