Thanks for looking/helping! I currently have a 2005 Optimax 115. I took the boat into the shop for annual service. The mechanic advised me that when he hooked the diagnostic tool up to the motor it would not read the ECM. He advised me that he wanted to put a spare ECM to see if the ECM was the problem. He advised that it would take 2-4 hours and doesnt know if that was the problem but I would still be charged labor hours at $80 an hour. I told him no. The motor runs fine. It starts fine and idols with no problems and runs great. A week or so later I tried to hook a smartcraft guage and it also would not detect the ECM as it read "nonE" Is the ECM the problem even though the motor runs great? Should I be looking somewhere else? I am lost and any help would be great! Thanks in advance!
