Evinrude 175 Ficht ECU... HELP!

[Tony Rose]

I just bought this boat 2 months ago, it quit running a couple of days ago and the tech tells me I need an ECU for $1,400 part only!!! There has to be someone out there that rebuilds these things. Can anyone offer me any assistance? I would greatly appreciate it.
It's a 1999 Evinrude 175HP Ficht.
Thanks, Tony Rose rider1232000@hotmail.com

It's my first boat, welcome to the world of boating :'(

BRP has rebuilt and new ECU's and those have to be exchanged by an authorized dealer.

contact the folks at www.dfitechnologies.com as they repair FICHT items such as ECU's, injectors, etc. for a lot less money than new items.
