What Gil risers do I need?
 
I am in the process of putting a Mercruiser 420 in my 88 Powerquest spectra xl 222. Dropped the motor in place tonight as spring is almost upon us in northern Mi. Not only are the risers I bought off Craigslist too long, they’re also too high. Anyone have any idea what risers I actually need? I’ve attached pictures of the ones I have. Part # 818495a1.

I went with these. Had to add a wedge but I have raised exhaust ports on my heads

Those dimensions would work for me, hoping to track down something used tho. Those are 6” shorter than the ones I have.

They are hp500 risers and can be found used. I bought new.

The Merc 420's came with TRS drives and had a transmission, thus the reason they are too long and the wrong angle.
You need to find out if your exhaust holes in the transom are in the stock Bravo cutout location.

Send a PM to Sick Stinger. I think he has some standard Bravo risers.
