    115hp Optimax coil advice

    Hello all,
    My coil just fried itself. Smoked for a second and Yellowish stuff oozed out of plastic (i guess where is cracked). Question is should all 3 coils be replaced or just the defective one? Not sure if the other are not far behind from failing or if this should be viewed as an isolated case.

    I second the above advice - I just recently sent an ECM to Simon to fix a driver on #6 . Cause was a coil . When I hooked it up to the DDT it showed a misfire on #6 - I believe 116 times .
    It was suggested replace all coils from a solid tech- Ted at Speedmaster Marine .
    Dan at Simon stated the same . Yes coils are expensive and so is sending the ECM out to get repaired - then buying coils .
    Be glad you only need 3
