stator prices

[itspaidfor]

my stator is shot .a new one from merc is 300.00 plus .the merc part # is 3985454a21 .found a stator for about 150.00 bucks with a part # of 1745454k1, can i assume this is a aftermarket stator for being so cheap? what is the quality of the aftermarket ones? reason being i know a merc dealer mechanic and he said they tried the aftermarket ones and had nothing but trouble so they went back to the factory merc ones.remember this guy is a friend and not just trying to sell me a merc one.anyone have any comments ? thanks.

Re: stator prices

That is up to you! I would not feel right to tell you one way or the other. On some things you have no choice but to use aftermarket parts. Myself I would take your friend's advice. $300 is better than $150 + $300 if you had A problem with the aftermarket one.

From what I have been told the cheaper priced ones might be rebuilt stators. I have found going with the factory parts works best in the long run...yes they are more expensive but it's worth it.

Correct CDI/Rapair is the only way to go, way better components then Mercury products for less money.<br /><br />Which motor do you have?<br />How do know your stator is bad.<br />Have you DVA tested the stator,trigger,coils, and the stop circuit?
