Mercury 25 hp rectifier installation

[gevannos]

Hi folks<br /><br />I am installing a rectifier into a 1999 mercury 25 hp outboard. The instructions don't seem to match my motor as far a wire color goes. I know I have to connect the rectifier to the wires from the stator. My question is do I connect to them with a T type connection and leave the 2 wires also connected to the ignition module? So I would end up with the two wires just tapped into the two stator wires.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Eric

Oh, I forgot, this is a 6 amp rectifier, should I add a regulator as well? I got this rectifier kit from merc and they make no mention of regulator but I have no items on the boat that use electric except the fish finder.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Eric

Not sure what you are after. Does it have charging coils? If not, I doubt you can tap into the ignition for a source.

The parts dealer told me it takes electric off the stator. The instructions also show that but the wire colors are different on the motor. So I am wondering if I can tap into the stator wires to get juice out.<br /><br />The instructions show the 2 wires from the stator going to a terminating block. On my motor the wires goto the ignition coil.<br /><br />I think if I tap into them it will supply power to the rectifier.

Re: Mercury 25 hp rectifier installation

Are you replacing an existing (bad rectifier), or trying to install one for charging purposes?<br /><br />Does your motor have electric start (and a battery), or is it rope start only (no charging circuit)?

Hi<br /><br />Thanks for responding.<br /><br />It is non electric start, rope only. This is a kit I was sold to add charging capability to the motor. No Battery yet.

Sorry, I can't help, but maybe Schematic can. <br /><br />This will move your post back to the top again.<br /><br />See you later, and good luck.

Eric, the ignition stator is a separate piece fron the charging stator on your motor...if your motor is a manual start, it does not have the charging stator mounted under the flywheel...you need to get one and install it....the ignition stator has a BLK/white stripe and a BLK/yellow stripe wires.....the charging stator will have 2 yellow wires on it.
