Boat always been a good runner. Started running crappy overnight. Starts with a tap of the key. Idles great. Won't plane. After some troubleshooting I have found that #5 cuts out (inductive light goes out) around 1500RPM. The other cylinders however do not cut out, but seeing how rough it runs WOT on the lake, I would assume its a problem with more then one cylinder. But for troubleshooting purposes, I only rev'ed it just higher then high idle, in this case, just enough for #5 to fail. I then wired it so #6 used #5's coil and vise versa. Problem stayed on #5, so ruled out coil. Then I swapped the two sets of three wires between the boxes, and then #5 did not cut out. (#4 did) This happens consistantly, not intermittant. Question is... could the rectifer be causing this problem? I did not diconnect it, as I am not sure how... But it looks a bit "bloated" and the "resin" is cracked. I would need to take the boat to a shop to do the stator. I don't have the tool to remove the flywheel. So, I would like to be sure it is not the rectifier before I continue. Any thoughts?<br /><br />-Deep Yooper.
