MSD's Ready-to-Run Marine Distributor drops in and connects with just three wires — no separate ignition control required. Built off MSD's proven billet marine distributor platform, the 6061-T6 aluminum housing is hard anodized in a sleek black finish for corrosion resistance. A maintenance-free magnetic pickup delivers accurate trigger signals, and the oversized shaft rides on a sealed ball bearing for reliable operation on the water.
