Default Mariner 90 OB Plug Wires

Unknown Year of OB. 90 HP/ 3 Cyl/ 2 stroke. Engine looks to be in very good shape starts on first try but then will start to drop a cyl and loose power. This is very intermitent but seems to be different cyl each time this occurs.

Shut down and loosend plug wires from the plugs to determine which cyl was not firing. Started motor and reached in with my insulated pliers and WAKE up fast. I get hit with multiple joltz of what seems to be Very good spark :-0.

After my edrenelin rush went away,
I temporarily wrapped each plug wire with elec tape and the motor runs like a top.

Any way , I would like to know if the plug wire can be pulled from the coils and replaced or do I need to replace the entier coil just to replace the plug wire?

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks
