If your older Mercury or Mariner outboard (135HP to 275HP, 2-stroke, 6-cylinder models from about 1981-1993) is having charging or ignition issues, it might be the stator. This replacement stator is compatible with a bunch of OEM part numbers like 174-5456-16, 398-5454A35, 5454A32, and others—check your motor's specific number to be sure. It's a 16-amp stator designed to work with the Black Max and similar V6 engines. Installing a new stator can help restore proper spark and charging performance, getting your boat back on the water. This part comes with a 1-year warranty, and the seller offers support if you have questions. Always double-check fitment for your exact model, year, and HP, and consider consulting a marine mechanic if you're not comfortable with the installation. A reliable stator is key for keeping that outboard running strong season after season.
