Designed as a key charging source for the ignition circuit, this stator helps provide the electrical energy needed for smooth throttle response and dependable starting. The design priorities are especially important on Mercury/Mariner applications where ignition stability depends on clean stator output.

Stator Design

• Epoxy encapsulation helps shield internal windings from moisture, vibration, and corrosion.
• Marine-grade lead wires and molded connectors help maintain dependable contact in a high-vibration environment.
• Heavy-duty winding insulation helps prevent shorting between coil layers during extended operation.
• The stator body is designed to maintain proper coil alignment under continuous flywheel rotation.

Ignition System Benefits

• Designed for use in wet, hot, and vibration-heavy marine engine compartments.
• Supports smooth acceleration by helping the ignition system maintain consistent energy.
• Helps restore ignition charge voltage for strong, repeatable spark output.
• Designed to maintain stable voltage as engine load and RPM change.

Common Symptoms of Stator Failure

• No-start conditions
• Weak or intermittent spark
• Unstable ignition output
• Hard starting
• Random cylinder drop-out

A stator should be diagnosed as part of the complete ignition system so related components are not overlooked.
