Product Details

This outboard stator assembly is built to maintain dependable ignition energy as engine speed, heat, vibration, and load conditions change. The design priorities are especially important on Mercury/Mariner applications where ignition stability depends on clean stator output.

Materials & Build Quality

  • Marine-grade lead wires and molded connectors help maintain dependable contact in a high-vibration environment.
  • High-temperature insulation helps protect the windings from heat cycling inside the engine cowling.
  • Heavy-duty winding insulation helps prevent shorting between coil layers during extended operation.
  • The coil assembly is built to resist breakdown from heat, oil mist, humidity, and repeated thermal expansion.

Performance Features

  • Provides a dependable electrical source for the ignition system under real-world boating conditions.
  • Designed for use in wet, hot, and vibration-heavy marine engine compartments.
  • Helps restore ignition charge voltage for strong, repeatable spark output.
  • Supports smooth acceleration by helping the ignition system maintain consistent energy.

Common Ignition Symptoms

  • Spark loss after warm-up
  • Weak or intermittent spark
  • Charging output problems where the stator also supports charging circuits
  • Engine misfire under load
  • Random cylinder drop-out

Because stator failure can mimic other ignition problems, testing the trigger, coils, switch box or power pack, and related grounds is recommended.
