ECM issues

[joelewis73]

I have a 1998 242 Rinker Fiesta Vee with 5.7 V8 EFI... I had to have the engine rebuilt when I thought my fuel pump had gone out and took it to get replaced. The engine block was cracked so I had it rebuilt. After months and months of paying and waiting I finally got my boat back the day before I left for a 321 day deployment overseas. Now I am back and hoping that weather breaks in the next few weeks so I can get my boat ready for the season. The rebuild was completed, new fuel pump and 3 shops have told me I need a new ECM that mine is bad. I have the engine serial number 0L093092 and have looked in every manual I can find to get another ECM and they all say NLA... No longer available? Does that mean I cannot get a replacement for my boat? I found this part number for the ECM which says NLA 861542T1 (861542R03). Don if you could please let me know if you know anything of these or is there a cross reference to a replacement ECM.
Thanks
Joe

Hope you made it back safe and sound, Thank you for going over there for us.

When running the R03 number the system says to order 861542T03, This is an active number.

But before ordering the T03 number, using part number 861542T1 call 435-684-3171 to see if they have one you can buy, Good luck.
