I would go with the Alpine 9885, and use wireless (RF) remotes mounted in the holes left behind by the old wired remotes.
What size remotes you have now will dictate which new remotes to go with.

Re: 496 mag whistle

My 496HO did the same thing, so I replaced it with a K&N arresor/filter. There is a foam piece that goes in the throttle body, but mine had it, and that wasn't the source of my problem. I think...

Re: Marine Lubrication

I've followed this thread for some time, and I'm more confused then ever. I don't care what an oil change costs, if I can extend engine life, but I don't know what the best oil would be.
