A simple carburetor and point ignition is not foolproof either - as I
found out about 3 miles out from Murray Harbour PEI one warm summer day
in 1973 - and again on the Chobe river in Botswana southern Africa about
a year later. Got to the point I didn't want to be in a boat more than
jumping distance from shore. One reason I'm not too thrilled about 2
strokers in aircraft - I can swim a bit, but my arms get tired when I
try to fly!!
I know you guys are talking 4 stroke, automotive derived marine engines,
but the point still holds. In many cases I'd rather trust electronics -
a ludite I am not.
