Re: 95 Donzi Jet Boat
I don't think you will have a problem ,that is just an old force 3 cyl out board engine and it dosen't hold water in the block like a jet ski does, the stator blows out when the rectifier goes bad and if they put in a new stator and did not replace the rectifier they blew the brain box as soon as they turned off the engine, or if they did not know it was the rectifier they put in a stator and did not change the brain , 95 may have had the old stator or the new one there were 2 different ones, both will blow the brain box if the rectifier goes out. I developed a system to prevent that from happening and told mercury about it but the big guys hate any one telling them how to fix a problem that makes them a lot of money selling replacement parts. They only fix what is costing them money under warranty. Once it happens out of warranty it makes them money, and they don't use those any more so why worry. I would file a complaint against the people who took your money,, you will definitely need to completely clean out the fuel system and replace the battery , those carbs are the simplest ones to work on that I have ever seen, so no problem there. There are a few companies that sell a complete stator, brain,rev limiter, rectifier and resistor, aftermarket kit for around 700 dollars, just about any one can replace the parts all you need is a flywheel puller to get access, takes about an hour to do the entire set up ,, call your local prosecutor to see about consumer fraud and any local media and see how fast the money gets returned. Some info that may help, check with your napa auto parts store they carry a huge supply of marine parts most people don't know this, even the clerk may not know it, tell them to look in the computer in the store under small engine parts they have carb kits fuel pump kits gaskets brain and electrical parts they even have a catalog #msp-5 and possibly a new one msp-6,, hope this helped...
