    Not at the moment, the coil pack and module are mounted on the port side exhaust manifold. It uses a flywheel sensor for trigger.

    I'll be damn!
    Just looked it up @ dougrussell.com.
    I thought you was nuts.
    I'd definitely toss it and go with something else.
    I am considering the DUI Marine 4.3 Setup for my merc 4.3 , but kinda pricey.

    I would think that would be a more reliable system for marine service than the original OMC setup for sure.
