Exactly.There are several companies that make stand alone programmable ECU units.
For example Protech show a Sinoptic ECU connected to a D12 engine.
Volvo D12a
SCS Delta also have some flexible ECU with independent programmable outputs.

Protech even do “ load testing “ and an image shows a MTU V 16 , could be marine or locomotive either way similar static loads , if loco imagine climbing an incline exactly the same as loaded boat or fouled prop/ hull .
I do not see any barriers for theses guys or negativity expressed on here ^^^ , a walk in the park .
They will fit wait for it guys ......da da EGT monitors + a zillion other test probs on the mule and of course it will be ragged about and a zillion spread sheets produced they will be able to change , map it’s as required alter values .
If you ask nicely request a permanent EGT monitoring.......just saying
The numbers in terms of global mkt stack up .As I have pointed out twice on here a after market solution by evolution emerges .
Another place to look would be China or Korea considering the vol of generators , earth movers and yes boats running diesels .
