Part 4 I bought 2 jet skis. 2006 Yamaha Waverunner FX Cruiser for $2500 with Trailer

its pronounced sta--tor. and that part you showed is called a regulator/rectifier, it converts ac voltage to dc voltage. these ski's sure have a ton of salt water corrosion on them, you better make sure you get that cleaned up, checked out ?. have fun with them. p.s. you shoulda spent the 180 bucks for a new oem reg/rec, never trust used electric parts on these.

Rectifier is the word I was looking for. Couldn't remember it. Thanks. Yeah...these skis are an example of almost no matter how much you flush them out, there can still be corrosion from the salt and why I would never take a ski in salt water. It's just the engine surface fortunately, but it did also lock up the reverse and trim cables. That's my next project although those cables are expensive and not easy to replace. I've been fine just pushing them off the trailer and the trim is correct setup for 1 rider. Part of why I paid so little for them. Long term on the electrics, you are right. If the part had been hard to replace, I would have spent the bucks. However, that rectifier is 2 bolts and it's out, so I figured $20 was worth the risk. Fortunately it works.
