I have no concerns. From a durability standpoint, they are potted in epoxy, just like MSD's ''marine" boxes. From a legal standpoint, I don't see USCG approved spark plugs, spark plug wires, coils, etc. I cant see a insurance company denying a claim because you didn't have a "marine" ignition box.

I ditched the MSD Marine boxes and replaced them with these. So did a buddy of mine. We were tired of the MSD's failing. We each have 2 seasons on the cranes, and no issues yet.

I am running the Merc distributor with my HI-6M but you do have to phase your rotor differently. Also I believe the only way to run the HI-6 is with locked timing, which is how I run mine.
Page 6 show the rotor phasing.

This kit is cool. This what I wanna do.
Expensive but badass. BBC or SBC
Adds a reluctor wheel to crank with custom timing cover and crank trigger.
Then just get a e38 LS ECM and coil packs. No dizzy. Super reliable.

after few years, I still stand on the HEI's can't beat them for realiability, although did have the 1st bad out of the box a while back, now thats out of 8-10 I've used or sold, as far as blower clearance, not going to work, but If you are ok running locked timing think a small cap HEI EST with seperate coil might be worth a look. If you need a advance one there is a marine EST kit available with a built in curve(this is a crusader inboard set up that has about 20 deg of advance built in), I am not sure if DUI does a small cap unit or not but he may..and yes MSD(may soon die) is still junk in my opinion
