Marine Engine Tuning
Performance and economy calibration for common-rail inboard diesel engines.
Tuning for the water
Many modern marine diesel engines — including common-rail inboard units from Volvo Penta, Yanmar, Mercury and others — run ECUs that respond well to calibration. I can optimise fuelling, torque delivery and throttle response for improved performance and efficiency on the water.
Economy maps are particularly effective on displacement hulls and long-passage vessels, where even a modest improvement in fuel burn makes a meaningful difference over a season.
Support depends on engine type and ECU accessibility — contact me with your engine make, model and year and I'll confirm compatibility before you commit to anything.

How it works
No commitment until compatibility is confirmed.
Compatibility checked first
Send your engine make, model and year and I'll confirm compatibility before you commit to anything.
Performance or economy
Optimised fuelling, torque delivery and throttle response, or an economy map focused on fuel burn.
Original file backed up
I back up your original ECU file before any work begins, so it can be restored.
Marine tuning FAQs
Most modern ECUs use some form of protection, and it's something I check for and account for before quoting. If a particular ECU can't be safely accessed with the tools I use, I'll tell you upfront rather than after a wasted trip.
Your original factory map is always backed up before I touch anything, so if an issue arises I can restore the original file. I carry out every job carefully and methodically using professional-grade equipment, and I'm always available afterwards if you have any questions or notice anything that doesn't feel right.
