Mercury 525EFI
 

Anyone have a picture of the new 525 EFI?

Here is one, There was a thread in Febuary about this engine. Try a search

Now I am pissed..... I just re-powered with 500EFI's last year. These are SWEET.... Does anyone know if the new air filter on the 525 would fit laste years 500EFI ? If so, how $

So this is going to replace the 500 Efi?

I don't think it is replacing the 500efi?? But if you want the 525 hp Arizona speed and Marine makes a Mono blade throttle body, and reprogramed ecu that makes the 500efi into the 525, There are a few of us think of getting this, I think it is about $800

WILL:D

When I spoke with the Merc Rep at the Miami show, he stated the HP525EFI will replace the 500EFI only if we want it to. It all depends on how many are ordered. There are no plans to drop the HP500EFI at all.

I would be interested in the new throttle body.... call me at (516) 398-4600. Matt

Here is Merc's official info...

Im pretty sure the new 525 is a closed cooling system. ST

You are correct, ST.

How do you like the warranty?:

One Year Ltd. for Recreational Boating, 3-Year Ltd. Corrosion.

What exactly is: Recreational Boating ?

I was thinking of trying to get a OSO group discount from ASM and maybe a builder to do port matching, like Tyler Crockett?? Waiting to see how many here are interested? ;)

In addition to closed cooling (more consistent temperatures), I believe the 525 also has distributorless ignition (more precise ignition timing) and sequential port injection instead of batch-fire injection. Between these 3 items, it makes most of the additional 25 horsepower through being "smarter".

Paul Pfaff has a new 600 efi that looks almost idenical but has another 100 hp , one year warranty, dynoed, blueprinted etc. Not that Merc is bad , but I think you can get a lot more bang for the buck. check it out . ask them to email pictures.

Anyone have pricing on the 525EFI as a package with the ITS gimbal and new XR drive. Or just the motor?

Here's a link to a picture of a Paul Pfaff HP600

ps How do I show the picture vs only the link:confused:

TODDW,

Did you get a price on the 600 efi from them?

My crystal ball says that I should consider changing my name from hp500 to hp525 :D
 

Troutly, I agree two of them babies under the hatch would be real sweet.


This boat buying is like buying computers :( there is never a good time to buy because right around the corner is something new that you wish you had waited for.

No doubt hp500efi, that is why I have not bought a truck yet. I still may not until after the 2003 model year GMs come out.
