It is usually just the distibutor gear, hopefully it did not tear up any bearings !

Hopefully he caught it in time. That why I like to put a Oberg oil filter in line, you can find things out before it's to late. Spark, I seem to remember that Jim [Mr Awsome] when his shop was at 12mile & M97 rigid a blue Martini, it might be this one????? I knew of only two Martini's here the other one was the white 26' [Cocane]

Is it smart to run the bronze gear in a marine app. to save the cam, or is there some problem with that?

It is a good idea,Performance boat motors usually get torn down often, It's good insurance to put a new one each time or every other time.
