Over the years, specific ignition needs have developed for automotive style engines in marine applications. One of these needs has been for a complete ignition system that is powerful enough to prevent plug fouling while idling yet tough enough to withstand the demanding requirements of the marine environment. The MSD Marine Ignition System, which consists of an MSD 6M-2 Ignition Control, Soft Touch Rev Control and Marine Distributor, is designed to meet these needs of the marine enthusiast. Whether you have a high performance jet boat, a pleasure inboard/outboard, or an all-out offshore race boat, the MSD Marine Ignition System will greatly improve the performance and driveability of your boat in many ways.
