With MSD you basically get a auto distrubutor with a flame arrester. No special parts, the merc distributors are very good. If I had not went with aftermarket timing control I would still be using it. I have been using the DUI for 2 full seasons and no corosion issues.

yeah,dont buy a msd.i am a fan of them,but last year left me stainded.had every damm part but the pick-up.when it shorted,it took the box,cap,and rotor.i really shouldnt complain,it was 7yrs old.never theless,i ran a mec t/b for 10yrs and never a problem,sold theboat and its stil running.merc=good stuff.thats going to be my next choise.
i never thought much about having to carry spare parts to be reliable

if you clear coat the internals on the MSD when it is new greatly helps with corrosion .....m

The coil is mounted in the center of the cap. They aren't bad, very simple. It's just the one you linked to from Jeg's is for a car. Not marine approved.
