good friend has a Crownline bowrider with a 496 ho he has bought a newer boat but it has a 6.2 in it . He wants to swap the 6.2 for the 8.1 . Is the electrical plug in play or will we have to do some rewiring . He is going to put the 6.2 in his crownline and then sell it .
The larson he is buying does come from the factory with a 496ho so it will fit in the bildge OK

Should be Plug n Play

depending on years Merc used 10 pin non DTS and DTS and then went to 14 Pin non DTS and DTS so maybe not a simple plug and play. Who knows not enough info to determine this. Just saying

Agreed bup but I dont think a Crownline Bowrider would have had dts. I Also think you can get a 10 pin to 14 pin connector . So maybe plug-plug and play...

I was just saying because as the first 5 - 496's at the start of the year that I had in for repairs was a Sea Ray, A Formula 260 BR and Cobalt 262, A Monterey and a Regal all had 496 DTS years were 2005 or 2006 thru 2009. I have not seen a Crownline this year with DTS but I think so in the past. Not many. Yes on the adaptor also.
