This is all good information. I will not buy another motor on ebay.
Just purchased a 82lb digital steer on ebay from the same person that
sells most of the motors on there and it had issues out of the box. The
seller stated a warranty of 90 days, but when I took it to the repair
shop the laughed and said that it did not come with a Motorguide
warranty. So I sent it back to the seller and looking to buy something
new.

The 82lb that was shipped to me from the ebay seller had less power than
my 67lb. I was told by the repair shop that it had at least one bad
board that they knew of that was causing it to not get full power. Also
the motor was a 2002 model being sold as new. Another problem was the
constant-on did not work. So I really did not get to experience how an
82lb would feel.


You should post the name of the ebay seller to allow others to avoid
the same problems you encountered!
