Diagnostic tool

[Mwingo3]

Is there anyone here that can give me information on a 2002 Merc 250 XB PRO. I’m looking to purchase diagnostic scan tool and want to make sure I get the right one and the correct software and cables. Every time I look it up and put in (XB) the search directs me to the XS as in optimax. I am interested in the techmate, but I’d like to be sure before I buy. I would also like to get engine data up on my humminbird helix. This motor is not smartcraft capable, but through my research I’ve heard that there is a way to convert the signals to work.
Thanks much and any information would help.

Rinda Techmate will do the job fine.

do you know the correct cable # I would need for my engine. It is the early model style 250 pro Xb with the duel throttle plates. And does not have smart gauge capability.

Thanks much 108! You are exactly correct. I checked my engine diag connector and it is the four pin square. Looks like I’m back to searching for a Rinda Techmate! Much appreciated!
