Thanks Rick...
I have the Merc books for my engine (1997 502Mag MPI). I'm sure the harness will plug in and most everything will work. It will just be the stuff that is not standard on most boats like oil temp and such.
One question for you: Where both batteries mounted on the port side when you ran a right hand prop?

I bought the boat with both batteries in the port side. The prop has alway been left handed. You will have to switch the cables to the throttle to run a right handed prop. Ducky's still has my old prop. I'd get it.

Hmmm...
Now you've got me rethinking my purchase of a RH prop.
I'll call Tom and ask what they want for the old prop.

It will definitely take some getting used to the low freeboard and cadillac ride. The Pantera needs about another 200 horse power and some 5 footers.

I talked with Tom and he wants $400 for the LH 26p Hydro.
I'm going to try my buds LH 26p B1 and my RH 26p B1 back to back and se how she runs before buying another prop.
