0582056 Is a OEM
18-5756 Is a sierra aftermarket box
113-1731 Is a CDI aftermarket box

All of these should fit.

You won't find any 582056 packs in stock. That part number has been superceded again, to 767506, and that part is currently on backorder at Bombardier.

I was able to get one off eBay $85. I put it on today boat started right up ran around the lake for about 30 minutes and then lost a cylinder. I made it back to my pier it seemed to idle just fine. I turned it off and waited for about 5 minutes. when I turned it back on it had no power ...after turning key off and on several times it fired up again??? I'm very confused..one more thing I was reaching around motor checking plug wires, connections etc. And I noticed I got shocked when ever I touch the top of flywheel....again very confused

Possible one of the spark plugs is grounding out to the block. Esp problematic are the two lower plugs. When the cowling is on, the two lower latches tend to ground out to the two lower wires. If you run the engine in the dark, sometimes you can see the blue spark going to ground.
