Marine & Outboard ECU Repair
Board-level repair on outboard ECUs, helm instruments, multifunction displays, and onboard marine electronics. Done on the bench in Ottawa, ship-in welcome from across Canada.
For boat owners and marine service shops.
Whether you run a marina service department or own the boat, a failed outboard ECU or helm display usually comes down to one component. Typical culprits: a blown power-rail capacitor, an output-channel driver IC, a cracked solder joint, a corroded connector, a dead voltage regulator.
On the water, saltwater and condensation are part of the picture. Corroded boards get ultrasonic cleaning and corrosion recovery before anything else. Only then do we trace the failed parts under the microscope and replace them with controlled-temperature soldering.
What comes off the boat to our bench.
- Outboard ECUs that stop communicating or prevent the engine from starting
- Helm gauges with dead displays, dim backlights, or stuck needles
- MFDs and chartplotters that won't boot or have a failed touchscreen
- Trim/tilt and power-control modules that only work some of the time
- Boards hit by saltwater intrusion, condensation, or a leaking seal
Shipping a marine unit to Ottawa.
A lot of our marine work comes from outside Ottawa, and units ship in from anywhere in Canada. You can also drop a unit off at our Orleans bench. Call or message us first with the part number and the symptoms, and we'll prepare the quote and give you the shipping details.
What we handle
Outboard ECU Boards
Outboard engine control boards diagnosed down to the failed capacitor or driver IC, or a ground plane corroded by saltwater.
Helm Gauges & Instruments
Fuel, RPM, and temperature instrument boards, multifunction gauges, and helm display modules. Dark or dim displays, and analog gauges whose stepper motors have quit.
MFDs & Chartplotters
Factory-fit helm multifunction displays and chartplotters: digitizer replacement, LCD panel repair, and control board diagnosis.
Trim, Tilt & Switching
Trim/tilt control modules, power-relay board faults, and the onboard switching electronics.
Saltwater Recovery
Salt residue and condensation damage are dealt with first: ultrasonic cleaning and corrosion recovery, then replacement of the parts that didn't survive.
Bench Diagnostic First
The helm unit or ECU is diagnosed on the bench first. You then get either a written quote or a failure-analysis report in writing.
