New Mercury 502 Mag HO's

[MattBMiller]

Aynone here have the new Mercury 502 Mag HO's yet? Good? Bad?

Mercury has not even scheduled shipping until June from what I heave read.
The engine should be a great product as Merc does not do things it does not do well. The greatly increased cost versus the 496 engines may affect sales but there are not many boats being ordered now anyway.

A couple OEM performance builders are currently rigging some. Can't say who. Yet.

We are slated to have one of the first sets; going into a brand new 33AT for a forum member.

We'll let you know what we think once we get them & test.

How different are they from the older-generation 502 Mags? Do they use the PCM555 controller and other systems from the 525EFI?
