Evinrude Voltage Regulator / Rectifier

[ezyriders]

Hello,
I just changed my 9 amp stator (CDI 173-3672). I have dual power packs on my (Evinrude) E88MSLCCC. I have both a Voltage regulator 511404 and a rectifier 583408 on my motor. However, to play it safe due to its age I want to change out the voltage regulator (511404) but its obsolete.

My voltage regulator has 3 wires. (Brown, Yellow, and Black) I looked on Marineengine.com and their diagram is pointing to a regulator that has 5 wires. On Ebay I found a 581736 that looks identical to my old unit, but the wires are Purple, Yellow, and Black.

Could I use the 581736 in lieu of the 511404? Is it 10amps, will it damage my engine or new stator? I could not find specs anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I can find the regulator 511404 on ebay

You could fit the CDI regulated rectifier 193-3408 in place of the existing rectifier.

but I cannot see the point in fixing what is not broken

I just checked it out and that is a great suggestion if the height fits under the flywheel. Of course I could relocate it. Greatly appreciate your input. The reason I want to find an alternative is because I was concerned that the new stator may burn out the old 511404. I've been stuck in the middle of the lake before and I didn't want to take the chance now that I still have the flywheel off. I'd rather store the old unit as a backup and get something new.
