"Coil is original (1995), boat also was in and around 'salt water' at different times."
Thank you... Very important to give us an idea when asking for help to give the year that the boat was manufactured...
Worn distributor shaft bushings can cause a multitude of problems and can cause the rotor to strike the distributor cap contacts, usually dislodging the rotor contact plate and causing erratic ignition timing problems... [ Kind of like inhaling cheerios for us humans ]!
Now,... I know that nobody wants to listen, however, the time to do basic maintenance and check your anti tow vehicles life line, is during off season. Shrinkwrap ain't going to get her done!
However, should you like paying a higher premium, and enjoy Company, tow US is not far behind.
Auto, boat, car, heilicopter, plane or truck, got my fix in and on route 66.
Last, but NOT least, just wanted to say a Big HI, to the Noonan's!!!!
tenfour?
