    On my Merc 250 XS, I just popped the flywheel off with a puller and disconnected the ECM and sent both to Eric Simon. He did his magic, sent them back to me and I reinstalled both. Hard to say that Ive noticed a difference but it certainly didnt hurt anything (other than my wallet). This was about 3 years ago...
