Skeeter On Fire

[JamesJR]

I Fished A Split Tourney, Morning And Night, It Ended At 200am I Noticed That My Batteries Were About To Die, So I Weighed In Early, After The Weigh In My Motor Would Not Start, Someone Tried To Jump My Motor, It Wouldnt Get Enough Juice, So I Charged My Battery At The Marina For A While, My Motor Soon Fired Up, I Began To Jet Across The Lake To Another Marina Where I Had Launched Earlier. All Of Sudden My Engine Died And I Began To Smell Smoke, I Turned Around And Fire Was Shooting Out From My Engine, I Put The Fire Out And Called For Help, At The Ramp I Tried To Figure Out What Caught On Fire, It Looked Like My Rectifier Had A Hole Dead In The Center. The Fire Did Not Do Too Much Damage, The Engine Turns Over, So I Believe The Stator Is Still In Good Shape, Why Would My Rectifier Burn Up? I Want To Know If This Is Something I Can Fix Without Paying Too Much,
