Re: Green prufex coils longevity

[fisherman6]

With the Prufrex coils, they have a nice snout on them where the wire slides and twist on to the spike. I also use a dab of dielectric grease on the end of the wire at the connection, but I use a short piece of marine heat shrink instead of the slide on rubber boot. Shrink the tune on there until the glue starts to ooze out then let it cool and reassemble it. This has given excellent results. The wire stays in place and it keeps contaminants out. This works with OMC coils too, but the shape is a little bit different and it doesn’t work quite as nicely.

I have also found a few of them cracked as well as the blue and light green OMC coils. The Prufrex coils seem to be quite durable from what I have found though.
