I'll have to see if that is a required item. If you add that piece, it becomes more expensive than the SkiDim distributer/coil retro fit. |

If you go with the DUI, You may need to get the engine wiring harness also. http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=R121025A
I'm not sure what you'd be left with when you remove the Protec wiring. Vince at Skidim would be able to explain that. |

What do you do with the old ignition system wiring? Just tie it off and call it a day? |

One factor is that DUI will customize the advance curve for your boat. TRBenj can elaborate , once he gets back online.
Edit - Don't underestimate the wiring changes that need to be made. SkiDim's kit has that all figured out for you ahead of time. |

I did some research on here and found both the DUI and SkiDim retro kit to be good replacements for the OEM ignition system. I do have some thoughts, but would like to hear from some of you.
The SkiDim unit is about $500 with the 10% discount. I like the fact that this is old school and simple. I don't like the extra coil and wire. The DUI unit is about $500 as well (unless I have a reverse rotation gear, then add $75). I like the electronic ignition and lack of coil and additional wires. I worry about the electronics going and cost of replacement. your thoughts? |
