496 vs 502
I recently bought a 38ft scarab. One of the 502s is missing. Any thoughts to look for another 502 or replace with two 496s?

Replace 502
|
Both are excellent motors. The closed cooling of the 496 is nice. If you plan to upgrade them go with 502 because they have forged internals.

496 is now a white elephant. As is the Ilmor V-10.

This right here. I like the MAG 496 for the closed cooling and close to hands off boating as you can get witget i/o boat. |
