Ignition Wire for Malibu M5 & M6 Engines
High Voltage Capacity:
-
Handles up to 40,000 volts for efficient spark delivery.
Construction and Materials:
-
Core: Suppression core (carbon or silicone-impregnated fiberglass) reduces RFI.
-
Insulation: Multi-layered silicone withstands temperatures up to 500°F (260°C).
-
Outer Jacket: Heavy-duty silicone/EPDM resists abrasions, chemicals, and moisture.
-
Boots: Silicone/EPDM for high-temperature resistance and moisture sealing.
Electrical Characteristics:
-
Resistance: 2,000 - 7,000 ohms per foot for optimal spark strength.
-
Conductivity: Low resistance minimizes voltage drop.
-
EMI/RFI Suppression: Reduces interference with marine electronics.
Marine Durability:
-
Moisture and corrosion-resistant insulation and stainless steel terminals.
Precision Fit:
-
Custom length and terminal angle for the M5 and M6 Monsoon engines, ensuring secure connections.
Performance Benefits:
-
Consistent Spark Delivery: Maximizes engine performance by ensuring that each cylinder receives a reliable spark.
-
Heat and Vibration Resistance: Maintains integrity in harsh marine conditions, including prolonged high-RPM operation.
-
Noise Reduction: Helps eliminate static interference with onboard electronics.
Maintenance and Replacement:
-
Inspection Interval: Regularly inspect during routine engine maintenance, especially before peak boating seasons.
-
Signs of Wear: Look for cracks, brittleness, corrosion at terminal ends, or visible arcing.
-
Replacement: Use only OEM or high-quality aftermarket wires designed for the Malibu M5 and M6 engines to maintain performance and reliability.
Installation Tips:
-
Route wires away from heat sources and sharp edges to prevent premature wear.
-
Apply dielectric grease to the boot interiors to facilitate removal and prevent moisture ingress.
-
Verify secure connections at both the ignition coil and spark plug ends to ensure consistent performance.
