Welcome aboard

No - Doubtful there ever will be such a kit. Outboards don't have the flexibility, 2 or 4 stroke.

I never thought EFI had much advantage over carb on an outboard. As I understand it, they are quicker to start, but fuel economy is about the same. DFI is a different animal....

There is no such kit but you can buy a blown 175 and swap the parts over....

Why are you starting a new thread when you asked the same question 2 days earlier. Read the threads you start! Both thread are now merged.
