[Alberg30] Electronic Ignition

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

I will state a fact based opinion. When I bought my boat, one of the first
things I did was to install electronic ignition to the A4. (even before I
put it in the water). That was six years ago and other than new cap rotor
and plugs every year, I haven't had to touch the ignition system. Twice
since, I've had starting problems, and never even considered that it might
be an ignition problem. Both times it was dirt in the fuel. Someone
mentioned that the important thing to boats like ours should be
dependability. I believe that the electronic ignition is way more dependable
than points and condensor.
