What are signs of a bad marine ignition system?

Hard starting, no spark, misfiring, or sudden engine shut-offs are all signs of ignition problems. We run full diagnostics on coils, ignition modules, spark plugs, and wiring to pinpoint the failure.

Do you repair both distributor and distributor-less ignition systems?

Yes – we service traditional distributor-based systems and modern electronic ignition setups (DLI/EFI). Whether it’s a timing issue or failed sensor, we’ll get your spark back.

Can a bad ignition coil cause poor acceleration or rough idle?

Absolutely. A weak coil or cracked plug wire can cause misfires, reduced throttle response, and rough engine operation. We test voltage output and replace worn components with marine-rated parts.

How much does marine ignition system repair typically cost?

Ignition repairs range from $150 to $600 depending on the issue and parts involved. We’ll inspect the full system and give you a clear quote before starting any work.

Can saltwater damage marine ignition components?

Yes – saltwater corrosion is a major cause of ignition failure. We use dielectric sealant and corrosion-resistant terminals to protect connections and prevent future problems.

Do you work on ignition systems for Yamaha and Mercury engines?

Definitely. We diagnose and repair ignition problems on all major marine engines, including Yamaha, Mercury, Evinrude, Honda, and MerCruiser – inboard and outboard.

Do you offer mobile ignition system diagnostics and repair?

Yes – we bring diagnostic tools and parts right to your dock. Whether you’re stuck at the marina or just want preventive service, we’ll get your ignition system dialed in on-site.

What is ECM scanning and why is it important for my boat engine?

ECM scanning reads fault codes and live engine data stored in the Electronic Control Module. It helps identify issues with fuel delivery, ignition timing, sensors, and engine performance before they turn into major failures.

When should I have my engine’s ECM scanned?

ECM scanning is recommended when warning lights appear, the engine runs rough, fuel consumption increases, or during annual maintenance. Early diagnostics can prevent costly repairs and unexpected breakdowns.

Can ECM scanning detect sensor or wiring problems?

Yes, ECM scanning identifies faulty sensors, voltage irregularities, and communication errors. This allows precise troubleshooting of wiring or electronic components without unnecessary part replacement.

Do you only read error codes or perform deeper diagnostics?

We go beyond basic code reading by analyzing live engine data such as RPM, temperature, fuel pressure, and sensor values. This helps pinpoint intermittent or hidden issues that may not trigger fault codes.

Can ECM scanning improve engine performance and efficiency?

Absolutely. By identifying incorrect sensor readings or timing issues, ECM diagnostics help restore proper engine operation, improving fuel efficiency, throttle response, and overall reliability.

Is ECM scanning safe for all marine engines?

Yes, ECM scanning is non-invasive and safe for most modern marine engines, including MPI, EFI, and diesel systems. It does not affect engine settings unless authorized adjustments are required.

Do you provide a report after ECM diagnostics?

Yes, after scanning we provide a clear diagnostic report outlining fault codes, findings, and recommended repairs or adjustments. This documentation helps with maintenance planning and warranty records.

What does the distributor cap and rotor do in a marine engine?

The distributor cap and rotor direct electrical current from the ignition coil to the correct spark plug at the right time. Worn components can cause misfires, poor starting, and reduced engine performance.

How do I know when spark plugs need to be replaced?

Signs include hard starting, rough idle, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, or engine misfires. Regular replacement ensures efficient combustion and smooth engine operation.

Is replacing the distributor cap and rotor part of routine maintenance?

Yes, these components are considered wear items and are typically replaced during annual service or every 100–200 engine hours, depending on manufacturer recommendations and operating conditions.

Can worn ignition components cause engine damage?

Yes, prolonged misfires can lead to unburned fuel, overheating, and damage to exhaust components. Replacing worn ignition parts early helps protect the engine and maintain reliability.

What is included in your ignition system replacement service?

We replace the distributor cap, rotor, and spark plugs, inspect ignition wires, set proper gaps, and test the system to ensure strong spark and smooth engine operation.

Do marine engines require special spark plugs?

Yes, marine engines use corrosion-resistant, ignition-protected spark plugs designed for the marine environment. We install OEM or equivalent marine-grade components only.
