Why do MSD ignition boxes go bad?
So I am most likely going to run the msd ignition on my new motors for just one year. I assume the reason why they are so u reliable in the marine world is the vibration when they are mounted right to the engine. I was thinking about using the rubber mounts and then making a bracket and mounting it to the boat under the gunnell. Thought? Comments?

I use MSD in 2 boats (3motors) for years now. One is mounted to the transom 1/4" thick rubber washers between them. The other 2 are mounted to the motors (by a little home made shelf). I do use the MSD 6T # 6400's which are made for circle track racing. The capacitor and transformer receive additional bracing, and all of the circuits and components receive an extra-thick coating of Humi-Seal, to give even more vibration protection (from Summit Racing). All I know is they work.
On a side note, I buy mine on eBay used. I don't care if they work or not and then send them off to the factory. For like 80 bucks they totally rebuild them to brand new inside, they use your old box.
