- 7.4 MerCruiser MPI w/Bravo III
I have a 2000 model 7.4 MPI that runs a MEFI-3 ECM.
I am wanting to acquire the means to read, log and clear/reset codes.
I am under the impression after reading here that one of these Rinda pieces is the preferred option.
Are there alternatives? Am I correct thinking that a Rinda is what I want?
Reading on their website, the Diacom appears to be the laptop version of the TechMate Pro which looks to be a hand held, self contained version of the Diacom. Beyond ascertaining that little bit (which I don't know to be correct), there isn't much to go on.
All things being equal, I think I'd be inclined to run it off the laptop. But I don't know that all things are equal.
Price wise is about a push, but I only want to do this once. So am asking whoever knows more about this than I do (which may well be everybody reading this).
The question then is, which one is ultimately the more functional? and Why?
Which would be your preference, and for what reason(s)?
Any pertinent thoughts or opinions appreciated.
