Distributor cap with no wire boots

Post by Tmalko » Mon Dec 04, 2023 12:52 am

I had my boat judged and was dinged for the wires going into the distributor cap for having boots. Is there a different distributor cap for wires without boots. It’s a KL engine.

Not sure why so many photos in the last post. They came from the factory with no bots on the wires. You do not need a special cap for this.

Sorry, read your response wrong. Don’t need special caps. Got it. Thanks much.
