Re: Will a stator for an 85 235 hp evinrude work for my 85 150 hp?
It depends. The 235, and the 150 hp XP/GT models all used the large 35 amp stator. Those charging systems were visually determined by the special vented flywheels atop the engine. These 150 models with the large stator were denoted by the model number which had the 150S designation. These are interchangeable. The normal 150 engines used the standard not-vented flywheels and a 9/10 amp stator. These stators are not interchangeable. The 35 amp stators had coils which appeared more open (no doubt for better cooling) than the 10 amp stator coils, which appear potted.
