Re: CD 17 1960 5.5HP Question

Mumbles,
This is the second one of these conversions I have done. Both of my conversions had newer style Chinese coils.

Not sure if they were made in china or where but they are not OMC. I did purchase one set of coils from marine engine . com they were black in color and I haven’t had a problem with them. The other set of newer style coils were already in the 5.5hp I have been working on.

Looking at you picture your coils look like old stock or new old stock.

I am building a small dock on my lake for my pontoon boat which I wouldn’t be doing if my other boats weren’t some 30 feet in the air on boat lifts. Our lake is challenged for a better word for what I think about the progress right now. Its Boone Lake in Eastern Tennessee. The dam is suppose to be leaking underneath and TVA is trying to fix the problem. Might be 10 plus years to fix or never and most likely I will be dead. I am going to use this little motor to help build me a small dock at my house for my lately acquired pontoon to scuttle logistics. Last year I built steps some 70 feet down to the lake. I am hopping the 5.5 hp will do well as a work mule. So I hopefully will be able to REPORT back with how she does and how coils/modules hold up. She has newer Chinese Style coils.

I suspect older style coils might not work well with Nova modules because of the way current coils are made
?????but what the heck I don’t know much about boat motors. I only know what I know from trying to keep me and the wife’s old boat motors alive since the mid 80s when we couldn’t afford a new one but then it became a Sick Hobby as I got older lol 😀 .

Anyway enough ranting I love reading and learning here on all boat motor information here. I read all new posts everyday and love trying to learn from reading I wish I had access to this in the 80s.

Thanks for the help and I will let everyone know here if the modules take a crap or if they hold up this summer.

Joe
