mariner 75hp coil?

andy9466 · 23 July 2006, 23:38

hi all
been out today and my engine dropped down to what i thought was two cylinders, after a lot of "trial and error searching" ive narrowed it down to a coil fault on number 2 cylinder, so i borrowed a coil off my friends mercury and this cured my problem.so now i need a coil to fit a 2002 mariner elpto 75 hp can anyone suggest a good place to get one or has anyone got one lying in there garage gathering dust?
all help appreciated
thanx
andy

managed to locate one now its not just a coil its a cdm ignition module an 827509a10. rather an expensive item at £160.
however whilst in search of one i came across a great site for looking up parts and part numbers www.mercruiserparts.com its an american site and these sell what i need for $60.
but the last time i ordered something for a jetski from the us i got a bill for vat and import duty.
dont know if there is a way round this though.
all the best

If you can , get any US site to ship to you as a "Warranty/repaired boat part" This solves the problem.
