I am wondering if these things have a shelf life. I have gone through 3 coils within 10 hrs of each other. The engine has 150 hrs on it. When I receive the new coil the plug cap is red instead of black is that a new supplier, I hope so. Is Merc doing anything to recall the old coils and last but not least has anyone had a failure with the red plug cap coils. Thanks Guy's
Good info here! Thanks Don!

Does this apply to the 225 Pro XS made in 2008? One of the codes that came up was possibly a coil that went out, per Don in another post yesterday. Was this a recall or am I out of luck with it being 10 years after the fact?
Please open a separate thread for your engine, including your serial number.Originally Posted by Peach1303
There was no "recall"... although the recommendations still apply, the engine owner must cover the costs of repairs.
