Trouble shooting indicated good power to motor, so obviously motor had quit. Was in the Bahamas so I removed the two Allen bolts and took the motor to an alternator/starter rebuild shop and next day came back good as new after changing brushes, Springs, etc. $50.

I have no idea where that middle pic came from. It’s not mine and didn’t come from my photo gallery. Weird. Lol.
