    I sure hope there is a S S BEAM in the engine beams. That amount of dirt along the Long beams is unusual. If boat was covered during none use.

    No Spark after Stator Replacement

    So very correct !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A shorted rectifier can overheat the coil wires under the flywheel. Causing them to burn open. With no voltage anymore.. A open rectifier can cause no voltage at the battery. No hope. Must use a volt and a Ohm meter to do basic tests.
