    stator rectifier question

    I have a 82 Johnson 25 hp. J25RCNB. Someone has put on a starter. My question, can I just order a rectifier in order to charge my battery or do I need a different stator? Reason I ask is bc the internals of the pull start are missing and I don't wanna be stuck on the water. Thanks

    Flushing question

    I've got an 84 Evinrude 8hp. Just got it running like a champ. Isn't there a way I can run this motor in the yard withouth having to put a big trash can under it every time? The regular muffs that you hook a hose to it will not work. Thanks.
