Boat Ignition Systems

The primary goal of an ignition system is to start a spark which will burn the fuel-air mixture in the engine. This process should be performed up to a few thousand times in a minute for each cylinder. If the timing goes off, the engine will work insufficiently or will stop working at all. That’s why the replacement of faulty ignition parts is so critical. We offer ignition systems and parts including condensers, spark plugs, ignition coils, etc.

The traditional ignition system has the primary circuit and the secondary circuit. The primary circuit runs at battery voltage (12 to 14.5 volts). Its major responsibility is to send the signal to create the spark at the distinct moment and transmit it to the ignition coil. The ignition coil is the constituent that transforms the 12 volt signal into 20,000+ volt charge. When the voltage is increased, it passes to the secondary circuit, which then guides the charge to the right spark plug. We carry ignition coils by numerous brands that are manufactured for excellent performance and high durability of the engine.

Today electronic ignition systems are most frequently used. The mentioned above systems were first engineered in the early ‘70s and used when greater control and enhanced reliability became crucial with the introduction of emission controls. Here you can find a great variety of electronic ignition systems engineered utilizing advanced technologies. Designed to resist the most severe marine environment, our products can provide faster acceleration, raised peak horsepower, enhanced general drivability of any boat, better RPM performance, and prevent spark plug fouling.

Spark plugs provide the spark that sets up combustion in each cylinder of the engine. We offer a multiple range of spark plugs available in various diameters, lengths of the thread and of different heat amplitude. When shopping for spark plugs, keep in mind that the choice depends on the motor: they vary from cold to hot in heat range and have specific electrodes for specific applications. Our store also offers a great variety of distributors of different types such as pulse generator, kettering system, hall effect generator, optical and electronic sensor unit as well as a number of distributor parts.
