Can some one from the good idea club of Mercury Parts give me a good reason why the Voltage Regulator/Rectifier on my 2005 90HP Four Stroke is no longer available. Then give me an even better explaination of why the replacement for this part cost three times what it should. Now a 4 year old voltage regulator goes out, it seems to me that it was falty in the first place and there should have been a product recall. The original MSRP for part number 804278T11 was $141.00. The MSRP for that replacement is $360.00.
#1 This is a faulty part or you would not have an upgrade for it and there for should be a product recall and cost me nothing.
#2 You get right with pricing of other Rectifier/regulator's which average from between $25 and $95. Your $360 price for a Votage Regulator/Rectifier is nothing more than price gouging.
If the problem doesn't get fixed within the next few weeks the BBB will be notified.
We looked at parts and technical bulletins and there is no mention of what or why part has changed for the 90 4 stroke regulators and there has not been any update or recall bulletins on it.
You can call Mercury Marine at 920-929-5040, they should be able to give you more information.
