Last week at the river I fire the boat up on the launch ramp and it fires right off & idles for a couple of minutes. I give it one little rev and it dies. I try to start it and nothing. Pull the boat up to the house and go through the ignition trouble shooting in MSD's manual (since I have fuel PSI at the carb, bowls are full and I can see it squirting fuel). The MSD distributer pickup ohms out, 12v switch, power and ground ok but the box will not trigger. With the distributer or jumper. I had a new Digital 6AL box by chance in my truck so I switched it out. The the motor lit right off. The old box is a 6m that is about 9 years old. I figure that it may just be worn out.
Besides from not being a marine unit is there any harm with using the Digital 6AL? Of I keep water off of it will it be a reliable unit? Is the 6m worth trying to have repaired?
Thanks for the help
