I sent my ECM off for repair. It was full of water, so far they have not been able to salvage it. The motor is a 350 Mag MPI for an inboard. Is there a big difference between one for an inboard vrs a bravo drive?

Looking up your engine and a comparable sized engine + serial number range, one thing noticed was the fuel injector part numbers are different which helps with the old saying that each engine is specially tuned for fuel mapping and ignition timing. While installing a Bravo ECM may start up and run, without a special engine tuner technician connected to the/your engine monitoring and/or changing the engines mappings, the engine internal components could become compromised.

While your part number is not listed, it might be worth calling Bob to see if he can be of any help. http://obd2allinone.com/mercecms.asp
Who did you send your ECM to? Whipple Marine in Fresno CA, the link above (Bob) or http://simonmotorsports.com/ That says,

Yep, Inboard has transmission inputs that the Bravo doesn't.

There is something along the lines of 40+ different 555 ECM's. You need to get the correct one for your engine by serial number or else you will have problems.

I sent it to Simon Motorsports. Said he had never seen one with so much water.
