HiI have a Mariner 75hp 1993 and having problems with the Stator. I have fitted three Stators in the last three months. Any ideas as to what could be causing this.Help.Thanks in Advance
have you installed the RED stator kit or are you still using new old stock black ones? if your usuing the original black ones they did not last long when new. but merc kept telling us there were no stator problems when we were crying to them about stator failues, I think every midsized mariner and force we sold in the 92-95 time frame failed. some in less than 10 hours. we found real quick that if the black stator was replaced with a black stator another failure was imminent. the red stator kit with an ign adapter seemed to work well.
For the last Stator I fitted, I also changed the Control Box/Switch Box.Would a faulty Rectifier not only affect the charging side of the Stator or is it the same.What is the best way to test a rectifier, without running the engine.Thanks
A bad rectifier or regulator can cause a stator to build heat and destroy it's self, mercrucy stators are junk, CDI/Rapair give the best service life, we have install many in the last 15 years and never had a failure--Bob

Iam now in possesion of a new red Stator kit.Can anyone suggest what I should be checking apart from the Rectifier and Control/Switch Box that can give problems to the Stator.If this new Stator fails then the engine is going for a swim.!Thanks in advance for your help.
if you were messing about with the black stators and burning out the low speed charge coils you most likly have no defects in your system. those stators were junk. it got so bad we would not even install one cause it would fail shortly after installation. thje new red stator kit should include a ign adapter module and a new regulator/rectifier. and a whole bunch of other parts and pieces. the kit fits a range of 2 cylinder through 4 cylinder force and merc notors.
