I would suggest that you stick to the genuine OMC coil as they are of good quality and the coil slides off the laminate easily.  Some of the aftermarket coils have the coil glued to the laminates making separation more difficult.

Your Scott needs to have the smaller of the two laminates….appx 1/2″  for this to work.  Some of the Scotts had larger appx 3/4″ laminates.  Fortunately on those….the coils rarely go bad.

A CDI ignation is totallly didderernt thab the one shown. the magnets in the flywheel charge a capacitor, about 6 times as large as the capacitor as shown. wheb the points close, not open it discharges to the coil. the type shown the magnets directly charge the coil primary windings & crosses from the primary windings thru flux lines & saturites the secondary windings looking for a discharge point via the spark plug. Two differebt ign systems/!

Jeff,

The coils Tubs is referring to are not CDI coils, they just happen to be made by a company with the initials “CDI”. Can be confusing.

Absolutely correct David!   This company makes all kinds of ignition parts for many types of outboards.  Hard drive and mother boards about anything electrical they are first rate.  A little expensive but good products.
