    5.8 penta, options for adding power

    Marine Coil vs Automotive Coil.. Does it matter? 5.8 volvo

    So i broke the ground terminal off my stock coil. It was corroded. Can i just put an automotive one in? Someone said that they may be hotter than what the marine uses, but is that really an issue if the boat isnt getting hot? Thanks
