Ignition Coil Help

[kdkiernan]

I have a 1986 Force 50 hp outboard and one of the ignition coils shorted out. The original part number is F380475 but in order to get a new one I have to order it through the marina and it costs about $150.
Is there any other coil I can use such as a generic coil, that would fit and work with my motor?

The motor model number is 507F8C

Please Help!

Re: Ignition Coil Help

I have an extra coil that I bought because I thought mine was bad, but ended up not being problem at all. I was going to hang onto it, but I could possibly help you out with good price. If interested shoot me an e-mail yadaddy6019@yahoo.com and we can discuss.

you can check ebay or even buy them here on iboats for a hell of a lot cheaper that you were quoted and, real easy to change

Thanks for your responses guys,
ATL - I have sent you an email.
If I were to search ebay or here what coil would I be looking for, would I have to replace it with the factory piece or is there a different one that will work. I can not find the original on ebay.

I really appreciate your help guys
