    Default Re: '72 Merc 4hp single cyl. stator?

    Welcome to iboats.New stators or used? Age is as much a factor as wear and tear in older parts. Even if they've been sitting on a shelf for that long. Mostly, leaks develop between the aging and shrinking potting and the metal. Then it corrodes inside when moisture invades.
    Hey, Have you seen? They make Really Cool life preservers nowadays.
    So "Looking Dorky" is no longer an excuse for not wearing one.
