An aftermarket system designed to replace a marine engine’s existing carburetor or mechanical fuel injection system with electronic fuel injection. These systems typically comprise electronic control units, fuel injectors, sensors, and related wiring harnesses. Consider, for instance, older engines initially equipped with carburetors that are retrofitted to enhance performance and efficiency.
The utilization of such a system can yield improvements in fuel economy, engine performance, and emissions reduction. Historically, carburetors were the standard for marine engines, but they are often less precise in fuel delivery than modern electronic systems. The adoption of electronic systems allows for more accurate fuel metering, resulting in optimized combustion, improved throttle response, and easier cold starting. These changes can significantly contribute to environmental responsibility and operating cost savings over time.
