CDI Electronics 174-6617A17 2-Cylinder Stator Kit for Mercury/Mariner 15, 20, 25 Jet HP Outboards (1994-1997)

The CDI Electronics 174-6617A17 is a 2-cylinder stator kit engineered as a direct replacement for Mercury and Mariner outboard engines. The stator is a core component of the outboard's ignition charging system, generating the AC voltage the ignition system needs to fire the spark plugs; a failed or weakening stator commonly shows up as hard starting, intermittent misfires, or a no-spark condition. CDI Electronics builds this unit to the same electrical specifications as the original equipment, and CDI states its parts are manufactured for superior product quality and reliability, offering a cost-effective alternative to OEM-supplied components.

This kit is fitted for Mercury/Mariner 2-cylinder outboards: 15 HP, 20 HP, and 25 Jet HP models built in the 1994-1997 model years. It is a direct cross to multiple Mercury/Mariner factory part numbers, letting owners and marine technicians source a replacement without waiting on OEM-branded stock. The stator is designed for use in a marine environment, standing up to the moisture, vibration, and temperature swings an outboard powerhead sees in service.
