Hello from the UK and thanks for your help again
I have a 4 cyl Mariner outboard A104067 (1984?) which appears to have stator problems but I want to try and make sure the stator has packed up before I replace so the symptoms .......
When the engine is running it seems to be providing 'extra' voltage to the battery (16v !!) and I now have two dud batteries but I'm unsure if it is the engine overcharging that could have caused the problem or a faulty battery charger. I don't actually need the stator to work but what I do require is a charged, working battery so as to start the engine and work the tilt etc. I have no problem with removing the battery each time I use the boat and recharging it on dry land however I am concerned that if I buy a new battery and the stator is not working properly it will over cook the battery again so my questions are....
Thanks for your help once again and best wishes.

- Do you think it is the stator causing the problems or could it be something else?
- If I replace the stator are there some other (electrical?) bits I should consider replacing
- To save the expense of having to buy a new/replacement stator is there some kind of insert I can place on the stator wire to the battery so as to restrict the voltage to 12v?
- If I do need a stator where do you recommend I approach in USA?
Thanks for your help once again and best wishes.
