Any departure from standard will mess up the ECU as far as performance goes. It will probably need a remap to get more power, and may well be below standard power output now.

Will a power commander 6 do the job or do you recommend something else?

Just been reading a thread on another forum, about remapping, versus chipping, versus leaving everything standard and nobody has a clear answer. I've never done any tuning on EFI systems, so can't say, but would have thought that to get any meaningful results you would need feedback from a rolling road.

I remapped the ecu on my motorcyle. Made a huge difference. Had a programmer on it when I bought it. The price on the two were about the same. The remap of the ecu was a set it and forget it. Person the did it askes all the mods done and tunes it to that. I left the programmer attached, but reset it. About 2 months later the ecu fried. $800 later, I left the programmer off and the person the tuned the old one was kind enough to redo my new one at no cost other than the shipping. No problems after that.

Will a programmer fry your ecu? I seriously doubt it. I'm just one of the those lucky 1 in a million people.

My opinion only, but on something that may be taken through water, will be beat around a bit and get washed a lot, I don't know that have the extra component and the wires is a good thing. But if there isn't a place you can get the ecu tuned, that's your only option. And again the odds of all that are probably slim too.

Installation wise, the tune is the easy choice.
