Question
i need info about my engine, all i got is E130TXACB, G0443B542. want to know what year and horse power. i'm also in the market for a trim motor do you know which one i need to buy ? when i put power to the motor, positive to the blue i get positive returned on the green, my guess is that this is not right.one wire should stay negative no matter ware you put the positive blue or green. if i'm not correct please tell me.

Answer
Are you sure the model number is correct? It would appear to be a 130 hp. Any online or local dealer can hook you up with the correct trim motor. I don't have the part number here with me right now.
On the two wire system you put pos to the blue and neg to the green and it should go up. reverse the leads and it should go down. Anything else and you need to replace the motor.
