It's not a car part. It's a Pertronix marine distributor specifically parted for the Mercruiser 351 Windsor. Who said it was a car distributor?

Unless you have a very big boat or have trouble getting around the foredeck, windlass to me seems like little benefit, overly expensive, and just something else that can breakdown. It's easy enough for the pilot to hop around and set or pull anchor if there's nobody else able.

I just put in a complete pertronix billet distributor with Ignitor II electronic ignition. Has everything including cap and there is a separate distributo model for each motor with the advance already tuned for the particular motor's curve. $225 at http://www.carshopinc.com

Any updates on the trip?

Hi, I have the Mercruiser 351 233hp right hand motor. Does anyone know the firing order? I don't have a manual yet. Thanks.

I've never had a problem with an Inboard. A duel inboard is very easy to maneuver. I have a single screw now and can back it in on a dime, e...

Deep cycle are great .... for trolling motors and sail boats . :D You'd want them if you've using an inverter instead of a generator. No doubt deep cycles have their place, but most of us don’t need them. Does this mean most boaters here are daytrippers? One of the joys of being on the east side ...

I'm in a marina in Philadelphia. We have cable at the slips, but this year with the switch for broadcast TV I now get perfect digital reception with our marine antenna and Jenson flatscreen HDTV. When out in the water, there is no reception when we're moving, but it's perfect when at anchor. It is a...

Thanks again Prowler. Would you do me a favor and show me which bulb goes with the plastic double contact base. I went thru a bunch of sites but it wasn't clear.
Thanks,
