How do you know if your outboard stator is bad?
You can know you have a bad stator by looking at it. If the stator is covered in salt and corrosion. Or you see it has melted or burnt windings on it. Then you could almost bet that it is bad.

How do I know if my outboard motor is charging my battery?
Put the multi-meter on Volts scale and look for 13.5 to 14.5v DC as indication it’s charging. Anything around 12.8v or less means it’s not getting charge. If it is below 12v with the engines off it may take a bit to climb above 12.8, but if it’s climbing with the engines on, it’s charging.
