Default Re: Outboard engine carfax?

Yes find the repair man that worked on it. Even they often don't keep records.

CARFAX uses public DMV and licensed Insurance Co info.

O/B have no such licensed or government counterpart.

The newer engines with computers (Bombardier, Yamaha, etc) have a history in them. But it's limited and must be physically plugged into with the Mfgr software to get to it.
