Just got another call, my poor buddy will never own a boat again!
While putting the stator in, the mech noticed a bad top bearing, and found corrosion, that leak that toasted the stator also was ch#^^^^^&g salt water on the top of the engine through the bearing and into the power head.
Says the engine has been injesting salt water!!!!
All needs to be re-built.......hes screwed......
