Re: Can I upgrade the stator on my 95 130HP johnson outboard?
I checked on google and found this stator (link) and it looks like what I want but it says it replaces OMC P/N's: 583561 and 584288. It says it fits 1988-1994 120, 130 and 140 HP Loop Charged engines but I couldn't find the OMC for the years it says that it fits. As far as I can see the 1995 stator is the same as the 1994 so I am a bit confused as to why they don't list my year.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just buy a big deep cycle and wire it into the charging system on the other side of a voltage sensitive relay? That way you would run the system off of the deep cycle but it would charge while under way. You might be surprised how long amped subs can run off of a good battery. I used to have a 10" Kicker L7 on a 400w RMS class D amp and a head unit pushing four non-amped 6x9s on an optima red top battery in a previous car and the longest I ever ran it was about 2 hours with the car off and never killed the battery. That might be much more practical if your end goal is to be loud.

I have 2 large deep cycle batteries so I think before I try this expensive experiment I think I'll try your suggestion. I will probably be installing an automatic transfer switch to parallel the batteries when the engine is running and have it disconnected from the starting battery when its not.

The charge relays are awesome. My mini stow-away deep cycle charging off of a transfer relay runs my modest boat stereo of 2x infinity 6.5s along with a Hella LED floodlight and two LED deck lights and LED bow/anchor lights and the bilge pump and livewell pump without flinching. I'm certain that the little bumps it gets from running the boat 5-10 minutes every now and then while fishing is what keeps the little guy going. When you get home you can just put a trickle charger on the main battery and you're done with the whole system.
