There is a code reader you can buy but it is VERY expensive. I took my boat to a local shop in my town and asked them if they could hook it up to their code reader and how much they would charge me. They did it for free.

running rich with power loss.. Sounds like what my engine did when I cracked a head from a hose popping off and over heating. :(

You can buy a Mercruiser code reader that flashes a light for the code. there are also generic brands, which is the same thing for $40. Do a google search of MEFI 4, and some will pop up on sites.
