Product Details

A properly functioning stator is critical to reliable spark production, and this assembly is built to deliver steady voltage under demanding marine operating conditions. The design priorities are especially important on Mercury/Mariner applications where ignition stability depends on clean stator output.

Construction Details

  • The coil assembly is built to resist breakdown from heat, oil mist, humidity, and repeated thermal expansion.
  • The stator body is designed to maintain proper coil alignment under continuous flywheel rotation.
  • Marine-grade lead wires and molded connectors help maintain dependable contact in a high-vibration environment.
  • Sealed construction helps reduce moisture intrusion that can lead to weak spark or no-spark conditions.

Operating Features

  • Helps reduce high-RPM breakup caused by weak or unstable stator output.
  • Helps the ignition system recover from weak output, hard starting, and cylinder drop-out symptoms.
  • 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.

Problems a Weak Stator Can Cause

  • Random cylinder drop-out
  • High-rpm breakup
  • Poor acceleration caused by weak ignition energy
  • Weak or intermittent spark
  • Engine misfire under load

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