My Islandia is a 2002 "older style" (round flywheel cover) 240. This is the motor that doesn't accept the SmartCraft monitor, correct?
Has anyone used the aftermarket scan tool "Techmate Pro" ( http://www.rinda.com/techmatepro/tmpro_res.html ) on this engine? Can it provide the same information (or more) that a SmartCraft Monitor can? Or is the ECM on this older style 240 limited on the information that can be sent to a scan tool? It wouldn't be too difficult to make up a mount for a semi permanent, but would probably have to hack up the cable that comes with it to make one long enough to reach the helm.
Any thoughts?
