Need the basic cap/rotor/plug wires. Are there other safe and/or better performing marine options out there besides the OEM Mercruiser parts? If so, where can I get them? If not, that's fine too...just making sure I don't unknowingly throw away money or pass over some parts that may be of better quality.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />EDIT: I should probably mention this is a 1992 with EST ignition.

my 1995 3.0 LX cap cost about 14 dollars for a merc part at a merc dealer i really feel its a pretty fair price<br /><br />you might save some money on wires but they should still carry a marine rateing<br /><br />tommays
