I am looking at boats with fuel injected VP power plants from the middle 2000's model years. Thinking about what I might want to ask specifically for a marine mechanic to check when I find one I am interested in and I am wondering what data might be available from the boat systems.
What data points are available, if any, in the onboard systems for mid-2000's VP engines? For example, I have heard that engine hours can be pulled from the onboard computer. Just curious what other data might be available that would be helpful such as stored trouble codes and the like.
Also wondering since engine hours might be available if data such as lifetime max temp or lifetime max RPM and similar such info might be available, assuming the right tools to get to the data. This could be a huge benefit in evaluating a purchase decision to see if the engine ever overheated or had an over-rev scenario occur.
