That will be what I do. I appreciate all the information you guys have given. Helps out a lot since this is my first boat I've ever owned and worked on!
ok so I have a 1984 mercruiser 470....was replacing a lot of the gaskets and needed to take off the harmonic balancer to find a broke magnet and a stator....my 470 is equipped with an alternator as well. Should I replace the magnet or delete the stator? And why would I have both?
