525 EFI how many hours...
 
I think I am going to buy a new boat with 525efi's..... anyone have an idea of the life expectancy or how many hours they are running before top end refreshing?? tired of going down the road
with blowers and rebuilds

thx

If you're not too hard on them, 400 hours before top ends

Usually a complete rebuild from Merc is 12,000 - 14,000
