MSD Ignition Systems:

WHAT MAKES THE MSD BETTER?
Over the years, specific ignition needs have developed for automobile style engines in boats. One of these has been for a complete ignition system that is powerful enough to prevent loading up of the plugs 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, a Soft Touch Rev Control and Marine Distributors, is designed to meet, and exceed, these needs. Whether you have a high performance inboard/outboard, or an all-out offshore race boat, the MSD Marine Ignition System will greatly improve the performance and drivability of your boat in many ways.
CERTIFIED FOR MARINE USE!
All components of the MSD Marine Ignition System have been extensively tested by Underwriter's Laboratory and have been certified to meet or exceed all safety standards for ignition systems as set out by the U.S. Coast Guard. Underwriter's Laboratory is famous for its thorough testing of marine electrical components. Each MSD Ignition component had to meet or exceed these rigorous tests before the U.L. symbol of certification was placed on the product. Here is a summary of some of the tests that the MSD Marine Ignition System was subjected to:

  • Low temperature -ignition must function at 13° F.
  • High temperature -ignition must function at 212° F.
  • Voltage -entire assembly tested to withstand 500 volts.
  • Vibration -must function after 24 hours on vibration table.
  • Shock -struck 5000 times with 10g force.
  • Ignition protection -must extinguish ignited fuel inside of the distributor cap.
  • Chemical resistance -submerged five hours in swelling oil.
  • Salt spray -must withstand 96 hours under salt spray.

At CP Performance we were the first to put together the MSD "Total Performance Package". We recognize not only do you want the ease of installation, you want to know you got every part you need to do the job right, and you want the savings that comes from buying a kit. While many companies try and offer partial kits, none to our knowledge, give you the same components at the every day discounted prices that we do. That's why the "Total Performance Package" consists of a MSD billet marine distributor, MSD 6M-2L ignition control box with built in rev limiter, a high vibration coil (no standard coil in this kit), a 8mm MSD custom fit super conductor wire set (no universal wire set). If you're the kind of boater that's looking for the "Total Performance Package" it's here now.
