I used to see that a lot on Johnson/Evinrude power trim pumps. Which
were externally mounted and prone to water logging. People would park
their boat for the winter then wonder why the trim motor wouldn't work
the next year, and regardless on how you tried to clean them out,
those old prestolite motors were nye-on to worthless by then. Nothing
that money couldn't cure.
