Wanted: Johnson 235 "GT" stator, flywheel, etc.

[ob1jeeper]

Help... Outboards are new to me, and I've just discovered that the std. "alternator" on the johnson 235 only puts out 10 amps... NOT enough to run the new accessories I just added to the boat.<br /><br />My local dealer (who is WAY knowledgeable about these onld motors) says there were 30 amp charging systems available on these motors, identified as 235 "GT" models... Anyone know of a good source for these parts ... used?<br /><br />My dealer priced out new ones for me, but they are WAY more $$$ than the cost of simply adding a honda generator to the boat...<br /><br />Appreciate any help anyone may be in locating some used hardware for the conversion...<br /><br />Thanx...

The 35 amp system came on several V6 crossflow motors. Call Jack at Superior Maarine at 800-338-9281. It may be worthwhile at that point to get the complete electronics. <br /><br />Good luck!

Thank you for the info... One quick question... When you referred to the "complete electronics", what all did you include other than the stator & rectifier, in your scope of parts?<br /><br />Thanx,

You will need the flywheel, stator and reg / rec. At that point you may consider getting the pack, timer base and coils. Thats what I did when I switched my 150 from 10 amp to 35. Now I have a complete spare set and it wasnt a lot more than the 35 amp parts. Just thought it might be worth asking when you call.<br /><br />Good luck!

Thanx again... If this outborad business don't drive me completely nuts, I may even learn something about them before it's all over... Had I/O's for more years than I care to admit to being alive... They were so much like a car, they were EASY, and comfortable for me ot deal with.<br /><br />I had NO earthly idea, that outbords large enough to power a 24 footer (and be electric start to boot), would not come std. with a charging system large enough to handle a few accessories... Live & learn... <br /><br />Thanx Again... Have placed a call to Jack, and am awaiting a return call/reply to my message...
