Better off putting an aftermarket alternator kit on it.

Re: mercruiser charging system

he is talking about abandonning the stator completely, and adding a regular alternator, instead of repairing what you have. Neither option is cheap, part of the reason that 470 has the reputation it does.

Head over to the mercruiser I/O forum, plenty of info on your setup over there.
