Installation Guide
-
Safety First: Disconnect the boat's battery before beginning work.
-
One by One: To avoid incorrect firing order, remove and replace only one spark plug wire at a time. Note the routing of the original wire.
-
Distributor Cap End: Firmly press the new wire's boot onto the correct terminal of the distributor cap until you feel it click into place.
-
Spark Plug End: Route the new wire to the corresponding spark plug and press the boot securely over the plug terminal.
-
Repeat: Continue this process for all remaining wires.
-
Final Check: Once all wires are replaced, ensure they are neatly routed and clear of hot or moving engine parts. Reconnect the battery and test the engine.
