what would it take to remove a procharger from a 502? Teaching my wife to load and unload the boat and it is way to touchy with the procharger. also going to sell the boat at the end of the season to upgrade, dont think the supercharger is a big sales point. thanks.

Just unbolt everything and take it off. You'll either need to have the carb re-worked for N/A or have the ecm retuned once you take it off. Need to change plugs as well as the prop. You may have to try to find new brackets for some of the accessories depending on what brackets the Procharger mounts have changed.
Like ZXX said, at idle, there is really no difference in handling characteristics. I also do understand your selling point, but if you considering selling the boat in the near future, why spend the money to change things up now? Although, if you sell the Procharger, that could easily offset the cost of changing things.
Soooooo, ultimately it's up to you.

I have an M1SC if your interested. And Niceguy, if your taking off the procharger, think twice. I had mine removed and it was a little much (if your not doing it yourself). You'll have to rejet the carb or replace, new throttle body and flame arrestor (if replacing carb), remove the procharger, change plugs, remove the extra fuel line running to the fuel cap, change the fuel pump to manual (because your probable have a big one on now), get a new prop, and then re-tune it. ![Smilie](/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

And just for the record, I do ALL my own work. I don't like anybody touching my toys but me.
