I have a 90 hp mercury tower of power, year 1985.
I have been having issues charging and after reading the forums decided to try swapping out the rectifier since it is cheap and the most likely problem.
The new rectifier looks like a standard three terminal (with the metal frame on the back that grounds to the engine).
I am trying to locate the old rectifier and can't seem to find it. I looked at my repair book and I believe it may be an old round rectifier. Does anyone know for sure where the rectifier should be located in this engine, or the best way to find it?
Also, if the round thing is the old rectifier, anyone know which wires go where (I was hoping it would be the same as the replacement making it fool proof but no luck).
Any help is greatly appreciated- Thanks All!
