Mike, I did not swap the ECMs, but now have been running for a few weeks and it seems (knock on wood) that the new P/N ECM is resilient enough to withstand any issues I had. Potential culprits still...

Thanks for that insight. So as far as a next step, should I just replace and then run the boat while getting some surface temp readings on the exhaust? Based on my issues I plan to keep a spare on...

ECM/ICM fails after 20 minutes of cruising

Exhaust is original to the boat as far as I know, so it would be 1998. I"ll check on the stand-offs when I go out there tomorrow and then will reply back.
