You might be able to buy a computer module on E bay. If that is the
problem then you just fixed it. If not sell the module back on ebay.


Possibly, but I'm wondering what's involved in testing it first. The
module for my motor runs around $300.00. When I bought it used from the
dealer, the module died during the first hour of testing. It took less
than an hour for them to change it, but I suspect that if it hadn't been
under warranty, they still would've charged an hour's labor.
So....re-sell the module on e-bay and lose how much? Or, maybe not. Or,
take it to the dealer and get it over with. It all depends....

More coffee....

I'd be wary of a "used" outboard electronics module for sale on eBay.

Yeah. For some purchases, I want to be able to walk back into the place of
business and make trouble, very loudly if necessary, when the place is full
of customers. Luckily, this is hardly ever necessary.
