Nort said welcome,,,,,,, making friends fast? Why on earth are you getting upset about that? Want help???

A stock 496 manifold will fit on a older mag merc engine then i would say that the 496 headers will fit a 525 SC..if the 496's are still in the boat i would have someone lock you in the bilge with a tape measure and measure from the center of the crankshaft bolt to the bottom of the hatch and then measure the center of the crankshaft to the air cleaner of the 525 SC..

Yes and most likely.

Yes I have a 36 outlaw with 525sc's from the factory. they fit just fine. However I have a deep x-dim meaning the engines are low in the boat as I have a 1998. I'm about 2" deeper then a 1999.

thanks for info guys i will do some measuring....nobody upset
