    50 hp mercury, 2 stroke. No spark from cylinder 2

    CDI is what OMC calls their switch boxes. Mercury just calls them switch boxes. Same thing different name. CDI is not a brand name. CDI electronics used to be called Rapaired. So something happend and they just changed their name to CDI electronics. CDM modules are altogether different.

    The OP would have a CDI/switchbox coil set up. CDI and Switchbox are the exact same thing. Where are you getting CDMs from?

    Trophy 1703 motor choice

    You will lose a bunch of power in that switch. The 3 cylinder 90 Yamaha is not a powerhouse by any means. Is this a 3 or 4 cylinder 125 hp?

    Nissan or Mercury?

    Mercury if its in good condition. I wouldn't even consider the Nissan because of parts availability. I would not trust parts availability as Tohatsu NLAs their stuff pretty quick. The 8 hp also can have electric start put on it fairly easily.
