Review on πŸ”₯ Quicksilver Thunderbolt Ignition Coil 8M0079202 - V-6 and V-8 MerCruiser Stern Drive and Inboard Engines - General Motors Thunderbolt IV/V Ignition System by Alec Winsor

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Properly dyno tested but very soft standpipe metal that cuts with little to no stress

So coil stand tested correctly and fits my 4.3 liter Mercruiser motor perfectly. The other parts made did not match the correct motor winding resistance values which should be 0.6-0.8 ohms for the secondary and 9.5-11.5 ohms for the secondary and the boat worked perfectly. I've used others on the Revain and the specs were either all over the place or 1.5+ ohms and that's no good and your motor isn't running properly and I had to return them. My biggest issue is the bar that the wires attach to and the nut that attaches them to the bar. Remember I've been a mechanic for over 50 years. After the nut was tightened slightly to properly attach the wires to the coil, the bolt sheared off with very little pull on one of the posts. Luckily I still have enough posts left to fit the s0 cables, be very careful as they are OEM but not as well made as the ones from years ago. The boat worked and started every time but I am very disappointed with the quality of the post and I am not the only one complaining about Revain with this product especially at a price 3 times the others.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Defects present
