Is GEM555 still out there?
I hope he gets his boat going. I totally get the issue, if you are new to boating you might think it is like having a car and a mechanic is ready to fix it right then and there and it will be good for the next 100,000 miles.
We once had a magneto go out on an airplane and we got it fixed the next morning for a couple hours labor and parts and were on our way. My wife thought the $120 labor charge was high and told her if it was a boat it would cost twice as much AND we would be stuck here for a week or two waiting for someone to have time to look at it.
(also if it was a boat we wouldn't have the OTHER ignition system to switch to and would have been stuck right where the first one quit)
