Check with Mark at Precision Marine in Louisiana, or Tom at Flagship Marine Engines in Punta Gorda , Florida USA. They can probably supply you two MEFI4B ecms with a proper program that will run you 375HP Volvo GI engines.
These Mefi4B ECMs will be the only ecm's that will plug into your harnesses on the engines and operate correctly without changing the entire engine harnesses, which would be an very costly change.
Hope you get your ecms fairly easily and solve your dilema quickly. Sorry for your misfortune with this seller. Most us us here in the Marine Performance industry and OSO are standup companies and individuals and would not treat you this way. Good Luck!

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

You might want to post here. This area helps warn others and will call out the other party sometimes.
