I have a mefi 3 for bravo 3 in one of the boats. Don’t think I’ll ever use it as that one will go to a 4b when the engine gets built for it. Any thoughts on a fair price?

In perfect working order I can go 300 Can I put you in contact with the customer for your asking price.

SB 04-03-2023 11:45 AM

$300 ? That’s it ? For complete system ? Sorry to but in, but ?????

SB 04-03-2023 11:47 AM

Okay, this is in general boating discussion, so i’m safe. If in parts wanted or for sale, i’d be stepping on toes.

there, i feel better. Lol.

800 is a bargain on them now, mefiburn wants 2250$ for a used mefi3 and when ben bowman has them I think I heard he wont let one go under 1500$
when I see them for 500 or less I buy them immediately, Smitty

Thing is with buying and selling them, I have bought a few thru the years, I got 1 from a OSO member that was a mefi 4, its not supported by any tuning program that exist so that was a waste of 450. I got one that was smoked for 500$ so 950 wasted, the seller of 2nd one said as is, he never seen it work so thats my problem although makes you wonder if he knew it was junk. So, If I somehow bought 5 good ones for 500 each (2500) , 2 bad ones for 950 now Ive spent 3450 putting them on shelf so if i sold the 5 good ones for 700 each, it would be a break even deal. So I can see Mefiburn marking theirs up some, 2250 is kinda steep though! Im keeping the few extra I own for doing mail order tuning. Guy pays me for a tune, text me afr readings, I flash same part# ecu send it out while he sends me his until tunes perfect, in end customer gets theirs back and is on water, Smitty

same here customer bought on ebay, for that much sent for reprogramming and still had an issue.
hoping for a reasonable replacement instead of the holly sniper

Ive had 150+ mefi1 thru 4s thru my hands that I mail order tuned, tuned on water or tuned on my dynoed etc thru the years, Ive seen 2 bad mefi 1s off same boat, same engine so clearly theres something on that boat killing them, told the owner (that I strictly did programming on them) to change harness, a mefi4 that wouldnt turn on the fuel pump relay which we fixed with a hobbs switch on oil pressure, a regular mefi 4 that was cooked that got powered backwards on a 305 omc in a cruiser, the mefi4 that I bought off OSO that cant be programmed because it has a part number that doesnt exist (has a DK in part number which bob at mefi burn told me is developmental) then the 3 I bought that was smoked but was sold as is and told by seller he never tested it (I have my suspicions he knew it was smoked but just played dumb). So for most part unless they get zapped backwards or spent serious time under water I dont see alot of bad ones. Since mercruiser hasnt really used one since around 2001, 2002 they are becoming very hard to find. They pop up here and there for 800, 850 BUT thats a roll of the dice unless you trust the seller, Smitty

I think I still have my old MEFI 1 kicking around. Will prob need programming. ASM programmed it for a procharger which didn’t the programming didn’t work that well. Someone wants it make me an offer. I pulled it to go carb back when I had a pet Dinosaur. Lol.
