Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, technically the manufacturers have the right to decline warranty coverage if an engine makes more power than it was sold making. We do not condone any warranty manipulation. We suggest being upfront with OEMs.
Â

Often manufacturers will use the exact same engine for multiple horsepower models and simply detune them for the lower HP models. This allows Outboard EFI to easily get to the max HP and slightly beyond.
​​No, during testing we find what the maximum horsepower achievable is and then reduce to a safe level for prolonged operation.Â
​You bet! If you do not gain the horsepower we advertise we can restore the ECU to stock and refund your ECU license cost minus actual shipping cost.Â
