Re: rectifier question
What Ezeke said.
Does your tach work?
Does your engine charge the battery? (you can test current between + and - at the battery at high idle - should be around 14v).
If one or both aren't right, it could point you toward the rectifier, but there's some more troubleshooting/ testing that can be done (I believe there's a FAQ in the FAQ section on that).
As for his power claim, like Ezeke said, it's nonsense. Do you think it lacks power?
What year engine is this? (look at model number, should start with J200)
What's the compression on all cylinders?
What's the wide open RPM's right now?
How does it accelerate?
How does it idle - in the water (not on the hose)? What idle RPM's?
What prop are you using? Is it in perfect condition?
