    Thanks Tubs, I was wondering about a Universal coil swap,
    but didn’t do anything further than just “eye it up”, and was
    skeptical, but guess I don’t have to go that route now!
    Marine Engine has two in stock, but at $99.99 each,
    I would need to be working on a Gale “Crown Jewel”,
    not my old dilapidated Sea King!



    As noted in your picture these coil have 2
    grounds. Be careful with them. The solder
    connections can break free (become loose)
    very easily on this coil and there is no
    known substitute for them as the OMC style
    coil is to large.
