Still very respectable and awesome fun boat. I grew up just 2 miles from their old plant on alpine.
BTW OT a plasma cutter, band saw and drill press every great to have in your shop. I’m always making custom stuff for this that and whatever.

Hopefully these work. $75 bucks from a local fab guy. He even cut the "cutouts" to match the Hardin piece.
QUESTION - I'm going to run a 2D map with a start retard value of maybe 8-10. What do I do with the manual input setting on the box? If I input "10" in the software do I just leave the manual setting at 0 or should I align them?
Also, the Mode setting on the ignition box should be set to 1 correct?

Got it all hooked up today, but need to get some new Moroso terminals for the CDI side of the coil.
Always something. Was double checking timing before I hooked everything up and of course the relay craps out on me. Then two trips to Ace Hardware. Nothing is ever seemless, but getting closer.......

Alright so, confirming:
In general is appears when you upload from PC link it overrides all the manual settings, but I'm planning on doing this:
RPM - 60 (6,000) - I'll set the Rev limit to that in the software as well so that's aligned.
TIMING CURVE - set to 1 for fixed timing. The instructions say the PC upload will override this. Confirming this is the right setting
RETARD - this one is a little confusing, as the instructions don't spell out that the PC upload overrides the manual setting. Can someone confirm I just leave this on 0 and let the upload manage
MODE - set to 1 as per the instructions
12v Hot - I connected this directly to the Hot on the starter motor. Any issue here? Only thing that bothered me about doing that was that I believe my boat has an automatic parallel switch when you crank the motors.....

If you are able I would hook it directly to the battery. That's how I hooked up my Crane HI-6M's. Not hooking MSD's directly to the battery is one reason they fry. A battery is the best capacitance filter in your boat.
