First, I want to say that this is THE BEST boat site online!!! You guys have HELPED ME SO MUCH! Thank You,Thank You, Thank You!!!!
My engine: 1977 merc 850 4 cyl ser#4725418
My question is: Can a stator form a 1993 Mercury 60 hp work on my 1977 850? I dont have the other engine serial number.
In 1990, the 60 hp engine used the same stator that is in mine (174-5454k1). They changed over to a (174-9710k1) in 1991. I did a little research and the "only" diffrence that "I could find" is in the cranking voltage. Mine has 180V and this other one uses 150V. Can I cause any problems using 30v less? Everything else about them are the same! Same wiring and design and it mounds right up. I did not try to start my engine only checked to see if it fit and it did. They also both have 20v+ HS and 180v LS. If I cant use this as a whole unit, are "ANY" of the coils interchangable?
I just purchased a brand new one for my engine and then found one "like new" on ebay for $35 delivered. The engine blew 2 months after the guy put it on so I grabbed it. I would like to keep this as a spare if I ever need it. If it wont work, hopefully I can find someone else that can use it.
THANKS ahead of time!!!!
