    Stator Rewrap

    $44 of copper is on the way. In the meantime .... KM1125, Do you have any suggestions on a robust electrical wire for the stator leads? I'm thinking about going up a size also.

    Need a salvage yard

    I need a used (burned out is fine) stator for a Mercury 60hp 2 stroke 3 cylinder from 1986. Part# 398-5704a4 Does anyone know of some good ones?

    Stator Rewrap

    Sorry ladies and gentleman. I didn't picture things from the top. I had to mirror some things. Now it doesn't make sense again.

    Stator Rewrap

    Would this setup make senses? I don't get how a low power and high power coil setup would work otherwise. Is the highpower coil just packing more juice with the second inline coil?

    That looks like some good stuff. New dilemma; I was looking at the melted eads and here's what I can gather...

    Stator Rewrap

    I called Ricky at Ricky Stator and he was very honest and tried to help as well as referred me to statorrewind.com who was also very helpful and honest with me. I am going to get the wire ordered tomorrow. The switch box leads were both grounded to the same point at the coils. Would it make...

    Stator Rewrap

    From what I could tell my motor was a 1989 60 hp 2- stroke 3 cylinder. The stator was supossed to be a 389-5704A7. It ended up being a 398-5704a4. The leads are different from what I can tell but the test seems to be the same in that the red and blue should be joined together to the ends of two...

    Stator Rewrap

    I've noticed that the after market stators seem to have some slight modifications. The one pictured below was wrapped on two extra posts whereas the OEM stator didn't have the 9th & 10th post wrapped. Also, posts 11 and 12 were the ones wrapped in a very fine gauge. I was not able to see which...

    Stator Rewrap

    I think I am going to be able to piece most of this puzzle back together actually. Fall, a warm campfire... Everything but the marshmallows.

    Stator Rewrap

    Thanks GA, but I haven't gotten out on the boat yet and the season's over so I don't have any rush. I got down to good yellow leads, but I have no resistance between the ground and blue lead now. I might have done that when I marred the coil. So the question I have is this. 1.) Am I using an...

    Stator Rewrap

    Well, I am rather stumped. I couldn't get enough of the hard plastic coating off to get a good idea of what is going on. The yellow wires continued to be brittle the full length into the case (as well as corroded). You have to love how a manufacturer will make something that could last a hundred...

    Stator Rewrap

    Oh, that's good to know. I wonder why evryone doesn't have their batteries being recharged. Yes, those are what I have. I tested them per the manual, but I didn't have high hopes as the original wires were cracking open. I might check the wires once removed and grounds checked to see if I could...

    Stator Rewrap

    My stator needs to be replaced. It's $147 to replace and I'm thinking of rewrapping it instead. I did this on a 1970's Suzuki PE 175 but that stator was quite a bit easier. How hard would this be to do? Has anyone done it?

    1989 Mercury 60 hp Stator and Trigger WiringI issues

    What is the electrical plug for on the top forward part of the control unit? Number three plug was the only one looking fouled. It's okay though right? Is the pull knob on the motor for manual choking?

    1989 Mercury 60 hp Stator and Trigger WiringI issues

    The wires on my stator and trigger harness are exposed and corroded. Is it possible to repair these (soldering new wires?) or will I need to fork over the $350? That's kind of steep for me since it's a new to me motor and I'm not sure what compression is. Mod Edit - Do you know iBOATS is a...

    1971 17' Bell Boy Runabout

    I'm on the motor today and it looks like I'll be needing a stator as the wires are all cracking out. I'm looking now but would appreciate some help find the right part at the right price. 1989 2S 60hp OB Mercury I can get the model # if needed.

    How high should my water ski tower be?

    I am mounting a ski tower on my 17' fishing boat for an arch but might tow my more adventurous wife behind with it. It is 84" from floor to top of tower. It looks ridiculously tall, but googling the issue seemed to say 7' was right. Is 7' a wakeboard/waterboard/skiing height or should I chop it...

    1971 17' Bell Boy Runabout

    My investor said I had some more time before our next board meeting so here's a couple other small details to the project. The plank is part of a $55 galvanized loading ramp from Harbor Freight Battery Terminal Does anyone have any experience with these? This was a camera mount I...

    1971 17' Bell Boy Runabout

    Maybe I should post these ramblings elsewhere, but I thought this was interesting as it showed the difference between the permeability of regular plywood and pressure treated plywood. The regular stuff looks like a recurve bow. I made an anchor puller that's, as of yet, unproven. If it works...
