Does anyone know if they can be purchased for any engine?
How much additional price are we talking?
I have been working through a diverter system design that would still allow thru transom exhaust (with reversion protection)

I was told there is a cutaway diagram of this new unit, somewhere. One was in a magazine, and the other was at a Merc site.. anyone know of such a pic or diagram??
Would love to be stealthy at 100mph..

I would think you could reto-fit them to any engine but I'm sure it would be a pricey proposition. Custom 2 into 1 (Y) tailpipes, plus the cost of the boxes. I do like the concept though! Steve

I agree that it could be fit to anything... but....
For me, the problem is dry tailpipe length above the water... I wouldn't even be comfortable putting the merc system on my boat without knowing the reversion potential. The 700sci is supercharged, meaning it probably has a milder cam than my 700hp NA motors. (I threw my corsa silent choice out when I switched engines). So that's where the work comes in - some water jacketed stainless with some well placed valves I'm thinking - introducing the water at the right place in a controlled amount is what I'm after.

The other thing, if I ever get the first system welded up... I am definitely going to have a water jacketed diverter and keep my through transom exhaust (regardless of the law in this state)... then at least I'll know what kind of power loss we're talking. If done right, I would think it shouldn't be much, but I'd rather know.
