Product Details

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.

Materials & Build Quality

  • Vibration-resistant construction helps reduce the chance of intermittent output caused by loose or damaged windings.
  • Heavy-duty winding insulation helps prevent shorting between coil layers during extended operation.
  • Epoxy encapsulation helps shield internal windings from moisture, vibration, and corrosion.
  • High-temperature insulation helps protect the windings from heat cycling inside the engine cowling.

Performance Features

  • Helps correct intermittent spark loss caused by heat-sensitive stator windings.
  • Designed for use in wet, hot, and vibration-heavy marine engine compartments.
  • Designed to maintain stable voltage as engine load and RPM change.
  • Supports smooth acceleration by helping the ignition system maintain consistent energy.

Problems a Weak Stator Can Cause

  • Poor acceleration caused by weak ignition energy
  • Weak or intermittent spark
  • No-start conditions
  • Engine misfire under load
  • Charging output problems where the stator also supports charging circuits

Always compare resistance and peak-voltage readings to the correct service specifications when diagnosing a suspected stator failure.
