$300 bucks for an after market stator, and he said my cd box must be replaced I have a 1977 johnson 35 hp, this seems steep. Is this a fair price??

Depends on electric start or manual start. If the stator is bad,how does he know pack is bad, unless pack is melted?

The stator was 247.58, and pack 72.08 price list dated May 2002. There has been more price changes since then. I would guess no more then 3 hours flat rate, depending of over all condition of engine.

Might be cheaper to buy Canadian and have it sent down to you.<br /><br />TMD

I tried the Shad Connection once and I don't like them. They didn't have the item I requested in stock so instead of telling me, they just didn't send it. I wasted 2 weeks waiting for a part that never came.
