back into marina 13mls on sole motor, got engineers down and after a lot of searching,fuses,ecu swap overs, spark tests and inspecting harness a green spot was noticed where we found a chafed through wire causing engine not to start, i recommend to protect the harness with plastic protective split coil tube to prevent this happening to your engine whilst at sea, goodness knows if it was my only motor.

Looks like it could be a good outboard but its reputation is sullied by this fault that doesn't seem to have an easy fix.
