I can't seem to get an answer from my mercury dealer as to whether the 496 mag and mag HO both have 4 bolt mains / forged steel cranks and the 7/16 in rods ??? They say it has been difficult getting this info from Mercury. I called Mercury this morning and they said they do not have that info available through their call center and recommended I write my questions down and ask my dealer to send them to the "dealer hotline" for answering.
I understand that the HO version has different heads ??? Any info would be appreciated.
