Hey guys, back again. We totaled our Islandia with the 240 Merc so now looking at going with a 2008 Islandia with the 215 hp engines.
First are the engines reliable?Any common problems with the super chargers?
The real question/help I need is this particular boat the owner said the battery warning light has come on. He has it at the shop now and said He thinks it is either the voltage meter or the stator... The mechanics have not yet diagnosed it. He Said the voltage meter is about $300 to fix and the stator is over $1000.
Is this the normal common problem or could it be an Easier fix? Also how hard is it to change them out? I’m mechanically inclined as I work on aircraft for a living but have no knowledge of these engines...
He has offered it “as is” with a good discount and I am very tempted to buy... However I don’t want to buy a “can of worms” so to speak and have a bunch of problems...
Please let me know your recommendations. All are welcome.
Thanks so much guys!!
