Rectifier troubles. . . . .I think

[sswinde]

I have a '95 Force 70 Hp.<br /><br />The rectifier has a small crack in it and some rust in there. I believe that this is causing my tach to not register above 3000 rpms, and, even worse, I'm not convinced that in its present condition, it's charging my battery correctly. <br /><br />Any advice?<br /><br />All that said, I'm looking for a replacement. I have located a new one for $100, but, I would like to find a used. My preliminary search on the internet hasn't turned up many leads on used Force parts. If anyone has a reputable used parts dealer in their area that would have, or specializes in Force or Mercury parts, I would greatly appreciate a web address or name and phone number. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Steve

hey, I am just passing on some advice, an expert from this forum told me they sell rectifiers at radio shack for well under that. (I think around $10 - $15) I think it may be worth the time to check it out, to see if it would work on your force. 100 seems awful steep.

Actually, it's a voltage regulator/rectifier, so from what I can gather, the $100 is right on.<br /><br />I've located someone that has a new one in stock for $100 shipped. But I'm still wondering if it's acceptable to track down a used one and slap it on.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Steve
