75 HP Chrysler Outboard Rectifier Question

[steveh]

I have a 1975 Chrysler Outboa

I have a 1975 Chrysler Outboard with a bad rectifier. I have priced a used and a new one and about had a cardiac arrest at the costs. Is there a substitute rectifier that could be used? at a cheaper cost and if so where could I aquire one.

Thanks
Steve

"Steve,

Some of thier prices are a little misleading (ie bearing "kits" only include bearings, not cages etc.), but precision mfg. out of Clearwater Florida carries a bunch of refurbished electronics for most makes. I believe they come w/ 2 year warranties as well, which is 1 year longer than factory parts. Their website is:
http://www.precisionmfgsales.com/
There you will find the phone number, and what they will need is the part number that you are looking for; you could also fill out a form on the site and have a catologe shipped.

The other option is to locate a local marine salvage yard or someone who deals with used outboard parts; I have a few in my area (southern NH ie "Derry Marine"), they are great when you want a part that is easy to remove.. would take a little longer if you wanted used engine guts. I'll bet most places are willing to ship as well.
