Ok this boat is going to be the death of me. It was running fine then started jerking and died. It would not start. It cranked over but wouldn't start. I found that I was not getting any spark. The wire insulation on the stator was all but disintegrated. I took it to a mechanic and he said that I needed to replace both the stator and the switch box to the tune of over a grand.
First: what does the stator do
Second: what does the switch box do and should I replace both?
Thank you in advance for any info or suggestions.
