those MPI'S with the horizon package - like the one you have,is it new as in 2011 ? if so,it would be equipped with catalytic converters - to pass the emissions standard ...your engine cat equipped ?
There is a closed cooling system and a half system. The half system flows fresh water through the engine only the full system does the manifolds also with block off gaskets at the risers. On a full system salt or raw water only passes through the risers and out the exhaust. You can plmb the mercruisers either way.
