Motor runs fine does it not??? just an electronic piece of **** china part....once you get all the voodoos worked out it will be fine 2 grand not bad compared to 20 grand for a new outboard....
I had mine break down the other day as well went to start ZIP knew right away damn starter after probably 300 trips on it no warning just went ?????? .... went in bam new one installed in about 2 hours as I have a new one on hand at home .... now ill take the old one in and get it all redone.
I can work on it had help with a buddy with noodle arms to get into it but normally id take the manifold off and very easy then.
ill admit all these new electronics on the new stuff is scary AND 2000 grand may be just to hook up a computer to "look " at it....
Yah I know its just pissing me off as I didn't know it was going to be like this. I know your you have lots of backup parts and know it in and out..... You also have your buddy..... But your right a lot of trouble is that I am not as familiar with inboards.... The other option is to pull motor out just after fall and install brand new one.. Its about 4500.00. The leg if fine and in good condition we had it apart and inspected everything...
Right now I have a no spark condition that I can't seem to figure out.... Don't get me wrong when its running I am happy...Just can't have it breaking down all the time.... needs to be reliable...
