Will this carburetor work with my boat?

[jjohanson]

Hey I have a 1977 Marquis with a Mercruiser 888 stern drive ford 302. A buddy of mine has a 2 jet rochester GM carb and says I can have it. Would this work for my engine? If so, Im going to order the rebuild kit and rebuild it for my boat. I'm asking because on my service manual its not on the list of carburetors. Thanks in advance

Is it a MARINE carby? If not, don't go sticking it on a boat engine...

Are you sure it will fit on the intake? rochester GM ?
Would there be a difference in hp?
