That sucks, B-RUN. I guess the bottom line is where are these motors going? Are they being parted out and sold as parts, or are they being sold as "used" to marine dealers.

Crack down on the bogus dealers buying these stolen motors and parts and the problem will go away.

If you know the motors serial number, I'd start calling around asking for a used "X" motor. If you find it, call the police on the dealer.

I've had to do that to some local scuba shops that specialize in "used" gear. Bastages are basically buying known stolen gear and selling it. Our local PD hates these people and are always more then happy to come in get your stuff back.

Good luck, B-RUN.
