How to identify stator 1989 40 hp

[Fozj]

I have a manual for my 40 hp Mercury, but it shows 3 possible stators for it. I am sure it is not the red stator, but a black stator. There are two black stators listed in manual, 9 amp and 16 amp. The resistance in ohms are different in the stator test for the two. How can I find out which one I have? the s/n on motor is OC168090. The switchbox has part number 332-5772A1
Thanks, Foz

ricksrster, I went to the link you posted and got this message "Information for this serial number is not available on our web site. Please contact the dealer 0 concerning serial number" I have an electric start 40 hp if this will help identify my stator.
Thanks Foz

According to serial number you listed the stator you need is a 398-832075A20 and lists for $325.00 and I'm sure is one of Merc's stator kits. I don't recommend going that route personally. I would recommend using the CDI replacement. It's cheaper and much easier to install and carries a 2 year warranty. I won't go into the details why I recommend this path now, but I've been a Merc tech for over 30 years and believe me it's the best way and it'll cost about half of what Merc's replacement cost which should be about $190.00 and the part number is 174-5454K1.

Hope this helps.

Happy boating.
