Looking for some help here. My boat is a 2000 with a stock 502 MPI. All original. Time to change the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, serpentine belt, and anything else you may suggest. I'm looking for a contact to call and order exactly what I need, shipped to my door. If anybody has a good suggestion, let me know. Also, I have a type 29 battery in my boat and wanted to purchase a billet battery box for it. Any suggestions where to find one, or will a type 30 work?

Why am I adding exhaust manifolds and elbows to my list? I'm not looking for performance upgrades, just routine maintenance. This is not the boat to add money to for performance, a 26' Powerquest with a 502 will never be a rocket ship

P.C.V. valve, check exhaust riser gaskets for leakage,clean flame arrestor,change water separator filter.Is the boat used in salt water?If so you might want to check for corrosion damage more extensively.

napa or any reputable parts house has everything for this motor at 1/5 the price of the voodoo marine branded stuff. they have this motor listed in their parts book and its all off the shelf " no magic " chevy . the rest is folklore and all a matter of specific application, usage and what you have done previously and what you care to believe.

Accel 8132 Cap and rotor kit
MSD 31489 Wire Set
NGK BPR6FS plugs - Projected tip
All these were for my 2000 Gen VI 454 MAG MPI. I don't know that the 502 takes the same stuff, but I would bet it does.
