"I have been posting about some electrical issues that I was having on my 2004 175 Johnson. My trim/tilt stopped working and tried jumping and nothing, tapped with hammer and working ever since. Just had the starter replaced!! Mechanic said it was frozen. When I spoke to other Mechanic he said that was highly unlikely due to the copper windings, unless a brush was bad. I am taking it with a grain of salt, however he said maybe the engine was sub-merged?? The engine was put on a older boat after the original one quit. I did buy the boat from a 79 yr old guy and who has been dealing with the marina for 25yrs. Hard to believe they would sell him now me a sub-merged motor(never know). Other than these issues the motor runs great!! Can I reference it from the serial# like you do on a Car for insurance reasons?? Thank in advance.
