    api scan tool opinions?

    In looking over their website, (API) it seems they are wanting to go kind of like the automotive side of where you could update the system yearly for a seemingly high $ amount to where I believe Rind doesn’t charge for their updates… Thinking maybe if you ran into an engine you weren’t able to...

    api scan tool opinions?

    What engine model/year and PCM type are you wanting to scan? Also what version of Rinda do you have? The original is limited now so you’d need the Rinda Pro or one of the ones you connect to a laptop computer Rinda offers. I’ve never used a API 5000 so I wouldn’t be able to help with a...

    Any way to know what engine by transom # ?

    It's a 60/40% chance if the engine, drive, and transom assembly was registered together (or at all) when first sold by the dealership. If the TA was registered then your serial number will show what engine came with it and what gear ratio too if registered with Merc. Either call a Merc dealer...
