I too have bought the Vishay caps but never used yet. I’m going by the factory rep’s advice. true these caps were speced out to handle magneto voltages & not so much the envirement of an outboard. I’m sure potting compound would solve this issue. It is available at Digiking as well. Thank you everyone for your input!P.S. Olcah, I can see some of the issues in your install, The device needs to be mounted & the leads need to be insulated. In the past I have used oversized wire insulation as a covering around bare leads in radio work. Keep them from moving with a dab of super corona dope or any glue. I do know the caps are made a little big but are reliable replacement. Digiking is a distributer not a manufacturer. Hope this helps.
PS Bil,l Looked up the X7R cap at Digikey tonight, no longer availble, too bad.
