Hey folks! I'm a gearhead and automotive oddities builder, but i'm looking for help as I'm new to working on boats. I have a 1997 Sea Rayder F16 with the Mercury sport jet 175 XR2 carbed engine. I bought the boat and trailer for $700 with no backstory other than it ran when parked and now has no spark. The dash is showing just 87 hours, but the boat has been sitting for years. It cranks and sounds like it has good compression.
The current stator looks iffy, but it is a CDI part # 174-9873-16, which should be a 16 amp setup. I talked to a boat parts seller who is not familiar with these, but was adamant that it should be a 40 amp setup, and that my flywheel is 40 amp. The flywheel is a 271 817832C, but the magnets were all loose and moved (glue failed). They aren't broken, but I can't find a guide to glue them back with the correct spacing and polarity.
Been researching for many hours, but can't find a consensus on what OEM parts it should have to restore spark. Is it 40 amp or 16 amp? I want to be sure to get the right stator and flywheel, as they obviously aren't cheap. Anyone have parts laying around for these 175 HP 2 stroke Sport Jet motors? Tips?
Thanks!
