The Rectifier on my 1989 Evinrude 175XP had an electrical short and burnt through the housing. I am looking for any help that could cause this failure or would it be safe to just replace!!!

need to check the stator to make sure it is doing what it's supposed to.

if it is, the rec/reg could be the problem. used to convert AC voltage to DC....

one thing that causes that is disconnecting the battery while the engine's running. another is loose or corroded battery cables. if you use wingnuts, tighten 'em with pliers.

another cause is, worn out water pump impeller.
