Anyways with that said Marine Power has gone back forth with ecms thru out .. Can you post a pic of your ecm because here is what Marine Power used thru out the 2000 s for ecms --- Mefi 3 and Mefi 4 and then Mefi 5 and E controls. Those do not use any of the same scanning adaptors EXCEPT MEFI 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 - 4 a and 4 b use 94005.

None of those ecms will work with the Merc 555 adaptor 94006.

This is also where I save one money for not buying the correct cables / scan adaptors.

A good clear pic of the ecm will help me and get you the correct adaptor

Copy that - Unfortunately it's in storage - I'll try and get some details before the end of the week - by the way did you ever find the offshore single motor mount - there's one on ebay - it has the knockouts for the coolers

Sure we will let you in --- hehe scanning can be a good thing and even human body scans as well.

so u just want to be able to scan your hp 525 s only ??

I would suggest to anyone to get the MEFI 1 thru 4 adaptor for 49 extra dollars as well. You can charge to scan other people engines or your buddies engines. Anyways a way to make back some of the money spent on the scan tool. Or do a partnership buy in so at least a scan tool can be used in group at one price instead of everyone buying a scan tool. Something to think about.

These Black engines from 2001 and back till 1993 and even Merc racing engines , volvo penta , indmar and so on as well, they all used MEFI 1 thru 4 and 4 a and 4 b.

Coming up on last call for dinner here. Boating season starting soon and the 3 that have paid me so far said they are players. So as of today I have just 3 buy ins. This coming Monday I am ordering regardless. Just saying.

I have to bite the bullet and get one. I need the one that does the whole 9 yards on 2008 Merc. 525's.
But I need it like now. I can't get any marine in Jacksonville to get me in just to do a scan. Motor is spitting, dieseling, (or whatever it's called, seem to cycle and not an even noise) above 1600 RPM, a few backfires.

They ship one or two days after the order. I will have one for sale in a few days. lol. I need it for half an hour, but it is what it is. I have to do the scan first.
