Hello All,
I'm trying to help my neighbor with his boat. Actually, I agreed before seeing what a basket case it is. The first thing I noticed on the motor was the wires from the stator. You can see the mess in the picture below. There may be enough left of the yellow wires that I can solder new wire onto them. My question is on the two green wires that are snipped off. I don't see anything on the powerhead that they connect to. I don't know the year of the motor, but it's a 50hp merc, 3-cyl, with remote and tilt. Do you have any ideas if the two green ones are needed? Also, is it even worth trying to save this stator? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
