There is an aluminum bracket where the removable front cover attaches. The
rectifier mounts to this bracket. It is about 3.5 inches square and is a
selenium plate type rectifier which will be hard to find. You can
substitute a much smaller and more current one from engines such as a black
150 hp Merk, these are more readily available.

If you don't find what you need, I have some to sell.

I am looking for help on where parts are located on a 1971 Mercury Mdl
800,
80HP outboard. I have been told the stator wires have been cut and the
rectifier is missing and need to know where to look and mount the missing
parts.
