The German-made SS-9 Stator (9-AMP) from Buckshot Racing #77 represents precision engineering for serious Mercury outboard enthusiasts. Designed to deliver dependable performance under high-stress conditions, this stator fits all Mercury V6 2-stroke outboards ranging from 135 to 300 horsepower, including the 225 Pro Max, 245 Carb, 260 ROS, and 300 Drag models.
 
Compatible with both 9-AMP and 16-AMP ignition systems, it supports 2.0-, 2.4-, and 2.5-liter powerheads manufactured between 1976 and 2005, making it a direct and reliable replacement across a wide span of Mercury performance engines.
 
Crafted in Germany to the highest standards, the SS-9 Stator is built to enhance ignition reliability while minimizing parasitic drag. Its 9-AMP configuration reduces electrical load on the flywheel, allowing for faster engine response and smoother revving under pressure.
 
Because it provides a lower battery charging output, it also helps prevent overcharging — a common issue with modern lightweight lithium racing batteries and rare-earth magnet flywheels used in tunnel hulls and drag racing applications. The result is a cleaner, more stable ignition signal that supports both performance consistency and engine longevity.
 
Symptoms such as loss of spark, misfiring, limited RPM range, or a dead tachometer are often clear indicators of stator failure. Replacing a worn or shorted stator with the SS-9 restores precise ignition timing and dependable spark delivery, allowing high-performance Mercury V6 engines to operate at their full potential.
 
The SS-9 Stator serves as a direct replacement for numerous Mercury Marine, Mercury Racing, and Quicksilver OEM part numbers, ensuring compatibility with a long list of legacy and performance powerheads.
 
Among the part numbers it replaces are 398-5454A11, 398-5454A15, 398-5454A16, 398-5454A30, 398-5454A31, 398-5454A32, 398-5454A34, 398-5454A35, 398-5454A36, 398-5454A61, 398-5454A64, 398-5454A66, 174-5456-16, 98-5454A2, 398-5454A6, 398-5454A7, 398-5454A8, 398-5454A9, 398-5454A17, 398-5454A18, and 398-5454A55, among others. This wide compatibility makes it the ideal choice for both restoration and performance builds where reliability cannot be compromised.
 
Each box is supplied as a brand-new, German-made Buckshot Racing SS-9 Stator, ready to install for peak performance. Whether you’re rebuilding a vintage Mercury 2-stroke or fine-tuning a race setup, this stator delivers the ignition stability and precision that define top-tier engineering.
