MERC/MAR TRIGGER - 3 CYL (REC854512T) REC854512T

Strong value aftermarket replacement with dimensions/connectors that mirror the OEM. The loom tag reads "CDE Electronics 134‑4512‑3," which matches the CDI Electronics pattern that cross‑references directly to Mercury 854512T for the same 1996–2007 3‑cyl 30–90 HP coverage (good sign for compatibility). The photo shows a simpler wire‑exit grommet/shorter protective sleeve than OEM, so secure the lead well during install to keep it clear of the flywheel. Brand context: RECMAR is a large European distributor with formal quality systems, but US warranty/support typically flows through the reseller; user feedback generally favors OEM or premium aftermarket (e.g., CDI) over “no‑name” electronics for longevity. Overall: a plug‑and‑play, cost‑effective choice with OEM‑like fit; OEM still edges it on finish and known long‑term durability. Reminder: the trigger/timer‑base generates timing pulses—if its signal is weak/noisy you’ll see misfire, hard‑starts, or no‑spark.
