    Stator price

    Took my Sugar Sand 2000 boat with a 175hp Mercury jet in to have it looked at because of it's no idle condition. The marina said the #6 cylinder had no spark at low idle and that it needs a new stator. They say it will cost $490 for the part and installation....Is this a fair price?...thanks

    prop stuck

    Hello, this is my first post..... I just bought a 1958 5.5hp Evinrude in very nice condition, but I'm having a tought time getting the prop off. Is it possible that the shear pin hole in the shaft expanded and made a ridge so the prop won't come off ? Is there a safe way to remove this prop...
