Good job on your trade. the Ser # should be located either on the front of the lower cowling or underneath. If you're looking for the trim control you need to make sure you have PTT.

Thank you for you help,one more ? Not sure if it's related but here goes on my sidemount mercontrol on the front of the box there is a plastic cap covering a rubber what looks like a small 110 household plug what is this?

3-prong plug is for tach and voltmeter operation.

Agreed many of these motors do not have power T&T.

Serial number should be on a little placard riveted to the cover over the tilt tube, just under the removable front cowling face piece. That placard can get covered with muck, may need to wipe it off.

Just figure most dealers charge about $94 an hour plus parts.
