Is the Mercury Marine scan diagnostic bus readable by the car ODB II
tools? I have a Optmax 2000 235HP with the check engine light on..
It's going to take over a week to get the repair people to walk 100
feet to my dock and plug the tool in.

I saw the Merc DDT tool on the net for $1221, Would love to be able
know why the lights on.

Oooohhh - good question.

I know it won't on my FICHT engines - you need the Evinrude software
to interpret the codes correctly. The data bus is pretty much
universal - synchrous serial and on the FICHT it's through a DB9 to
COM 1.

Why not just borrow the tool and do it yourself?
