I must be wrong?

I think you're going to need more.  Let me take a look at my motor tonight and give you a better idea.

But for now I'll suggest:

855721A4 STATOR ASSEMBLY $108.68
813715A2 LEAD CABLE SET, High Tension (5 and 8.25 Inch) $17.08
88439A28 BATTERY CABLE, Black $16.67
88439A27 BATTERY CABLE, Red $16.67
816770T RECTIFIER $36.38 (Part of the "Charging Kit" above)

All of the prices from Boats.net my personal favorite for Genuine Mercury Parts

No heavy battery cables needed if there is no electric starter

 

Stator plate is under the flywheel
it's the mounting plate for the coils that produce the electric current
that powers the spark plug capacitor discharge ignition.
I think this kit is for your Merc

I'd be typing for a week so...

Nice thing is that on two yamaha motors that I own they already have a "charging coil" Which will put out Unregulated AC .

You then Install a rectifier to make DC
there are many types of rectifiers available ... half wave , full wave , doublers and triplers ...But we usually run a full wave bridge ... There are however some Nifty rectifiers with built in Regulators ...

I have a motor that I purchased from a forum member and it came with all the charging stuff ...

A Solar panel may be cheaper ... and it workes when the motor is off

 

Ah I did not realize they already had a stator...

Then yes, one of those kits from Rainboat should do it! You may have to pull the fly wheel to connect the wires, I would call a mechanic and pick their brain. 

Make sure and take pictures of the project!

Dave if you use a solar charger there are a few items to keep in mind;

- If it puts out 50 watts or more it should have a voltage regulation system.
- Smaller panels should have an on/off switch, if the panel is not charging the battery connected to the unit, the battery could actually discharge through the panel.

These are just a few items from "The 12 Volt Bible for Boats" by Miner Brotheron.  I picked this book up over Christmas and it was a great read for air travel.


P.S. - Sorry for the hijcak.

 

posted that before opening brett's link ...LOL

It's all good Scott

I will try to take a photo of an old Mercury Vacuum Tube rectifier and post it here ...;-)

 

The hardest part of the project is removing the pull start and flywheel.
The rest is a basic parts installation and wire routing.

 

Only special tool I can find is a fly wheel puller http://www.repairmanual.com/catalog/DS-B-201. Other than that it seems pretty straight forward. As I'm sure you know, be careful with Mercury bolts! It seems they have a habit of snapping off in the block.

 

Kyle I would use the part number for the kit and search for a better picture of the parts. The numbers in the drawing are the parts listed (i.e. # 5 is the rectifier). I would call and ask if your flywheel will work as not all of them have the magnets installed.

The parts shown may be all that you need. The charge circuit is going to put out maybe 12 amps so it can be small.
