00:00There's nothing quite as frustrating as being 2 miles offshore when your outboard suddenly
00:04starts running on 1 cylinder and 9 times out of 10, the culprit is a tired old ignition coil.
00:10I've spent way too many weekends chasing weak spark on 2-stroke motors, so I went hunting
00:14for the best replacement coils out there that won't drain your wallet. These are the top 5
00:19ignition coils for 2-stroke outboards, and honestly, the prices on a couple of these
00:23genuinely surprised me. Kicking things off is the 33,410-93,901 ignition coil for Suzuki
00:32outboards, and this one covers a really useful range, the DT40, DT30, and DT15, so 15, 30,
00:38and 40 horse motors are all sorted. What I like most is that it comes as a complete coil and
00:43plug
00:44cap assembly, so you're not reusing a cracked, corroded old boot that's leaking spark to ground.
00:49It runs about $22.30, and with nearly 5,000 sold and a perfect 5-star rating,
00:55it's clearly doing the job for a lot of people. If you've got an older Suzuki 2-stroke that's been
01:01hard starting lately, this is a cheap fix. Next up, and this is the budget champion of the group,
01:07the 6F6-85570-01 for Yamaha 2-strokes, that's your 40J, 40G, and 40hp models.
01:15It also cross-references the 6F6-85530-01 and 696-85570-00 part numbers, which is handy
01:25because Yamaha changed numbering over the years and it gets confusing fast.
01:29The best part? $13.67. That's less than a couple of coffees for a part that's the difference between
01:38fishing and floating. 4,500 sold, 5 stars, and at that price I'd honestly buy 2 and keep a spare
01:44in
01:45the toolbox. Coming in at number 3 is the 582508 coil for Johnson and Avinrude motors,
01:51covering a huge span from 85 all the way up to 144hp. This is the one that also matches the
01:58Sierra 18-5179 number, so you know it's a proven design. The really smart thing here is that you
02:05can order it as a single, a pair, or a four-pack, and if you're rebuilding the ignition on a
02:10V4,
02:10replacing all of them at once just makes sense. Starting at $11.69, it's the cheapest on the
02:17list, and doing the whole bank still costs less than one dealer coil. At number 4 we've got the
02:233G2-06040-4 for Tohatsu outboards, the 9.9, 15, and 18-horsepower two-strokes. It also covers the
02:32Nissan-badged equivalents and a bunch of superseded numbers like the 3M3-06048. These little Tohatsu
02:40motors are absolute workhorses on dinghies and tenders, but the coils do get brittle from heat
02:45cycling and vibration over the years. $20.40 gets you a fresh one, and it's sitting at four and a
02:51half stars with over 4,000 sold. Just double-check your part number against yours before ordering and
02:57you'll be fine. Rounding out the list is the 6B4-85570 for the newer generation Yamaha 9.9D
03:05and 15D models, that's the 6B3 and 6B4 series. This is the one to grab if your motor is a
03:11later build,
03:12because the older coil physically won't fit and a lot of people learn that the hard way.
03:17It's $22.02, comes as a complete unit with the lead-in cap, and it's rated a straight five stars
03:23across more than 4,000 sails. For a small kicker or a sailboat auxiliary you actually depend on,
03:29that's cheap peace of mind. All the links are sitting down in the description below,
03:34so grab whichever one matches your motor and check that part number twice before you order.
03:39If this saved you a trip to the dealer, do me a favor and hit that like button,
03:43and subscribe if you want more no-nonsense boat and outboard deer breakdowns.
03:47Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you on the water.
