Oh, well electronic engine control units do show up on bigger recreational marine diesels, such as the Yanmar 6LY3 series, Cummins Mercruiser QSB series, Caterpillar C-7 propulsion series, Volvo Penta D6 series, and John Deere 6068 series.

Perhaps the "sailboat marine environment" is much worse than the powerboat marine environment?
