Is your 496 Broken? Need a new motor? Well then we are looking for you.
We are searching for a 496 owner who lives in the Arizona area, who needs a rebuilt 496 for their boat. Our new engine must be installed by a certified Mercury Tech at a licensed boat repair facility. Your engine ECM must be a MEFI 4 or you must be willing to use our new wiring harness and Holley ECM.

Sounds like a new short block and the rest your stuff. I should check on this since mine is out of the boat.

The Merc 496 didn’t come with a MEFI 4 type ECM…That was more of a Volvo Penta (and a few others) that ran that design ECM in the earlier years.
Mercruiser used a Motorola 555 PCM design.
