This is a genuine Mercury Marine Quicksilver factory OEM part, not aftermarket
Superseded: 398-9610A5
The Mercury part number 398-9610A5 refers to a 40-amp stator assembly designed for various 6-cylinder Mercury and Mariner 2-stroke outboard engines. This stator is a crucial component of the engine's charging system, generating electrical power to charge the battery and operate other electrical systems.
According to CDI / parts suppliers, this stator (or its equivalent 174‑9610K2) fits Mercury / Mariner 6‑cylinder outboards from 1989 to 2000 in the horsepower classes 105, 135, 140, 150, 175, 200, and 225 Hp
Some listing narrows its use more specifically to 1989-1995 135, 150, 175, 200 HP V6 engines.
These engines typically fall within the 1989 to 2000 production years and are equipped with 6-cylinder, 40-amp charging systems.
Even though many sources list broad usage (1989-2000), fitment can depend on the engine serial number, whether the engine uses 40‑amp vs other charge systems, and whether it's carbed or EFI.
it is claimed in at least one listing that 398‑9610A5 (or its equivalent 174‑9610K2) "fits" 225, 250, 275 HP Mercury 6‑cylinder outboards
Several serial numbers of some engines were obtained that can be used with part number 398-9610A5.
