       The tender makes chuggs and engine light is on, wont move. Does
       that mean the reversing board is shot?

       Take the shell off and check all the wiring to the reverse
       board. Then move the reverse switch to make sure it is not
       locking the board in neutral.
       The switch can be bad. Unsolder the wires to the switch and test
       the board, then touch the wires together and test again. That
       should change the state of the board if it is functioning. If
       you get no response, the board is bad. Replace the switch and
       the board at the same time.
