Marine Distributors

Don’t let engine trouble put a damper on your water trip. Keep all parts of your boat’s ignition system, including a distributor, in proper working condition to make sure your vessel starts and runs reliably. As its name suggests, the above-mentioned unit distributes the current produced by the ignition coil to spark plugs in the correct order. In other words, it ‘tells’ each spark plug when to fire. Early versions have a conventional contact point system, while the later ones feature electronic ignition. All marine distributors are sealed to keep the sparks inside making sure a boat is a safe place to be.

They are designed to withstand water spray, salt exposure, and long periods of vibrations. However, harsh marine environments take their toll on all ignition parts. One day, you may experience engine misfires or your boat won’t start at all. In many cases, you can blame that on a damaged or cracked distributor cap or rotor.
