25 hp...fun while it lasted.....

[KIGuy52]

I got my my '92 25hp (sn 0D105466)up and running couple of days ago. It ran fine until yesterday. I shut the motor off to fish. I tried to start the motor and it was locked up....pull starter wouldn't budge. Took the cover off, removed the starter ratchet assembly and worked the flywheel back and forth by hand until things moved freely. All kinds of plastic junk was falling out from under the flywheel. Got a tow home from a guy with a 25 Yammy (that was embarrasing as he**). Pulled the flywheel off and discovered that the trigger assembly had self-destructed. Apparently the cheap plastic mounting ring broke and the flywheel chewed the trigger up like it was in a blender.<br />I can't find a trigger in the iboats parts list and boatfix only rebuilds triggers....there's nothing left of mine to rebuild. Can somebody tell me where to order one of these things? Also, since my ignition stuff seems to be dying all at once, should I go ahead and replace the coils too? I just replaced the switchbox and the stator looks ok...or should I just go buy a 25 Yammy?<br />NEVER!!!<br />FYI...I believe the trigger part# is R98450A5.<br />Can somebody confirm this?<br />Thanks<br />JD

Thank you. I've found a couple, including maxrules.com (the serial number guy). His parts list doesn't show them, but he e-mailed me and said he has some in stock. I'd say that's pretty good service from a guy who's still trying to rebuild from hurricane Ivan last year, and was hit by Arlene and Dennis this year.

Parts Update<br />I ordered my parts from BAM Marine Saturday. They shipped them Monday. They were on my doorstep Wednesday. All genuine Quicksilver parts. I'm very satisfied with the service.
