    nope.. not tested yet planning to try a few next summer .I know mr. Mohat hinges more on 850V caps based on all the testing he did. Obviously 850 is better than 630

    Ceramics seem a better option but the yellow ones (with 850v) seem to do good when stuffed in the tall cans

    These 630v ones can be fitted in the small cans . They test 100 % good on the capacitor test box (mdl#1) I built is winter .

    So…. the 630 v ones ” seem ” well capable of tackling the 250-300v oscillations as shown on the scope shots in the Outboarder’s latest issued but I agree… real life testing is the way to go. .

    I am just going on the basis that if a $2 full wave rectifier rated 50amps will do the job just as well of a $50 OEM 15 amp rectifier modern capacitor design and material may very well do just as good work as a 1950’s capacitor design for pennies instead of 10-15$ a piece.

    if anyone has had bad experience with capacitor rebuilds using similar 600+volt caps … please let us know 🙂

    I don’t like rowing back to shore anyway !
