When installing an electronic ignition, you remove the resistor wire as
the new module runs at 12volts all the time. That may also be part of your
problem as most electronic modules go "off line" at 9.5 volts or lower.

RFI interference from the trim motor can also affect the ignition module,
either thru the air or thru the boat wiring.


Thanks for the response. The electronic ignition is wired to the accessory
side of the ignition switch and then to the negative coil lead; the coil is
wired to the electronic ignition and tachometer on the negative lead, and
the positive lead is wired to the alternator (voltage regulator) though a 2
ohm resistance wire and a shunt line (no resistance) to the starter solenoid
(I assume to supply full voltage to the coil while the starter is engaged).



Thanks again for the help, it is appreciated.
