Hi guys
I am currently in the process of repowering my 1997 302 with 525 EFIs. Any bets on what she will do?? I don't even know what props will work best on it yet??
I should have it all done in a couple months or so.
Anyone done this before ... if so, what props are you using??

I'm betting 90+ and you will be swinging 30's or 32's....
She will be a handful at those speeds so I hope you have external steering and some Kplanes.

The member on TBM has 2003 302 with galley package,shorepower,pretty much all the goodies and spinning 30p Bravo's is pulling 81 on GPS, but I sure hope you are putting hydro steering and kplanes on it or your going to have your hands full.

Sounds like an interesting project, did you pick up the 525's new or used? Are they plug and play with the wiring? We put 500 EFI's in a friends 38 Special and I was surprised how easy they went in.

That's correct.
As I recall, the 302 w/525's everybodys mentioning
( from Colorado ??) ran 85ish, and was a bit of a handful.
Ditto on the steering and k-planes ( 380's would be best,
right Jason ?)
