Thank you in advance for your assistance... Need help please, I am working on my brother in law's boat that has sat in a garage for eight years. I have gone through the entire fuel and electrical systems and replaced the spark plugs, carb kit and water pump kit. Compression is good. Installed a new battery and the engine will not crank over, traced it to the Rectifier Regulator. It blows the 15 amp fuse under the engine cover as soon as you hook up the battery. Looking deeper, the start switch is wired through the Rectifier Regulator and apparently is shorted internally. This item is obsolete and no longer available from Honda or any of the many outboard engine parts suppliers or ebay. Cannot find it in the aftermarket, CDI does not support it either. As a result I am looking for a replacement Rectifier Regulator for a 1997 Honda BF15 AM LAS four stroke. The part number is 31600-ZV4-861 and has 6 wires as seen in attached photos.
