'75 Scepter - 23' - I/O Mercruiser 350

[ericallen01]

I get the same numbers on my 23 Tsunami, 350 Merc 4bbl Alpha 1 17P with 12x12 Bennett tabs. Nice boat in the chop & rollers.

Being an older engine, I just bought a 2012 crate 350 Mag MPI (non ECT) NOS.

Will repower this winter and of course interested to compare the performance! I was tempted to pick up a new big block & bravo drive but costs prevailed...

Any issues I should be prepared for? Good transom, replacing Transom Plate & Outdrive. Expect a pwr steering & perhaps a new fuel tank, some gauges. Never dropped in a brand new engine before!
