i got a 1987 beach craft 179k with a 4.3 omc,The coil wire has a clamp on it and the guy i got the boat from told me i need to clip it to the + on the battery to start the boat, To day my boat broke down.. The coil has a crack all the way around the top and it had something bubbling out but was still running so i figured i would just head back home but i let it sit for about a hour before i tryed to start it again, the coil started smoking a lot so i unhooked the wire and it stopped, so im assuming i need to replace it, i have a flame thrower coil i was going to us for my car but never did its for a v6 or v8 can i use i on the boat or will it cause problems? and how do i wire it the right way because i think the way it was hooked up is what caused it to mess up, thanks
