575SCi Mercs
SemperFi,
I apologize. I thought I had pictures of the engine compartment, but I don't see any in my files. Here is a shot at the 2003 Poker Run. The hi res version pretty much shows all gauges that matter. You can see that the motors push a 42' 11,000 pound cat to 104mph with 3/4 tank of fuel. 5100 rpm. 7 psi boost. After Comp Marine straightened the hull, the boat ran 111.
See gauges.

And now that you've asked a QUESTION,
and I've ANSWERED it, it is apparent that it belongs here in
"Technical Q & A"
As far as the real reason for it being here?
SemperFi was interested in a pair of engines from my friend's boat. I had given him info and he wanted some pics. So I told him I'd post them here (not particularly suitable for General since it doesn't involve beer, but not Offtopic, so Technical it is..). When I got to looking, I couldn't find any bilge shots. But since I told him I'd post pics here, I figured something is better than nothing. I plan to post more engine pics later, although he has decided to pass on the motors. Jon's (AudioFN) being victimized by a recent scam-job has admittedly made him skittish about buying from a board member.
These 575SCi's are slated to be replaced by a pair of 572 Blown EFI 850's from Competition Marine. They need to find a new home. Chillers. 7psi. Strong. Low hours cause they keep blowing drives off the boat which sadly has kept it from being used as much as hoped...
And yes, I have more pictures of the chick.

I still owe BoardGod1 $$ for the EFI's I bought from him. I was planning on selling those when I get them and getting the 575's. I've known BoardGod1 for a while and I know what I am getting with his motors.
*Best of luck to your friend to sell the motors. I don't hink he will have a problem.
Post more pics of the girl
