Tune Up Kit Mercruiser 7.4 liter Thunderbolt | Powerline M74TBOLT
Complete maintenance solution designed for Pre Vortec Mercruiser 7.4L engines equipped with Thunderbolt electronic distributors. This all-in-one kit delivers every component required to restore peak performance and reliability to your marine engine. Keep your powerplant running at its best with our purpose-built tune-up package.
Maintaining a heavy-duty marine engine requires the right parts for consistent reliability. Therefore, the Tune Up Kit Mercruiser 7.4 Liter Thunderbolt is an essential purchase for boat owners. This kit, specifically the Powerline M74TBOLT, is designed to handle the high demands of the 454 cu. in. V8 engine. Because marine environments are harsh, using a specialized kit ensures your boat stays on the water longer.
First of all, this kit is engineered for the Thunderbolt IV and V ignition systems. Consequently, you receive components that offer a perfect OEM-style fit. In addition, the kit includes high-conductivity spark plug wires that resist heat and moisture. Furthermore, the distributor cap features brass contacts to prevent corrosion. As a result, you will experience more reliable starts and a much smoother idle.
Specifically, the M74TBOLT kit provides a comprehensive solution for your seasonal service. It typically includes the distributor cap, rotor, spark plug wires, and premium spark plugs. Since all components are in one box, you save time searching for individual part numbers. Moreover, replacing these parts together ensures your entire ignition system is synchronized. Thus, your engine achieves peak combustion and better overall throttle response.
Old or fouled ignition parts can lead to significant power loss. However, installing a fresh tune-up kit can instantly restore lost horsepower. Because a strong spark ensures a complete fuel burn, you will also see an improvement in fuel economy. Additionally, fresh wires prevent voltage leaks that cause annoying engine misfires. Ultimately, this leads to a safer and more enjoyable boating experience for you and your passengers.
Luckily, the Powerline M74TBOLT is designed for straightforward installation by DIY enthusiasts. Since the parts are direct replacements, no complex modifications are required. Nevertheless, you should always replace one wire at a time to maintain the correct firing order. Once the installation is complete, you can head out with the confidence that your engine is protected. Therefore, don't wait for a breakdown to give your Mercruiser 7.4 the attention it deserves.
Generally, this kit is designed for Pre-Vortec 7.4L engines with Thunderbolt ignition. Consequently, you should check your serial number to ensure exact compatibility.
Brass is highly resistant to the corrosion often found in marine settings. Therefore, it provides a more consistent electrical path than aluminum alternatives.
Most experts recommend a full tune-up every 100 hours of operation. Alternatively, it is best practice to install a new kit during your annual spring commissioning.
Yes, it is specifically designed to solve misfire issues. Because it replaces worn wires and plugs, it ensures the spark reaches the combustion chamber every time.

Would have been 5 stars but, I did not receive a promotional sticker with my $2000 drive unit. Just kidding, everything was great!
Great company to work with!
Ordered a Piranha Propellers Complete A-Series 4 Blade Propeller from Macomb Marine Parts and even though we’re international, it arrived in just over a week — fast and reliable service. The propeller itself is a real lifesaver. We had the same model before, and after hitting a rock that damaged two blades, we were able to swap them right on the water and make it back to the marina without issue — something you simply can’t do with a regular aluminum prop. For peace of mind we decided to buy a complete new set (hub and blades) since an impact like that could cause hidden damage, but the system really proved its worth.

Excellent part.
I couldn’t find a Piranha propeller dealer near me in Canada but found Macomb Marine Parts who could deliver to me. The order process was smooth and I was even contacted via email for clarification regarding blade shape and they were very helpful in choosing the best shape for my purposes.
I can’t comment on the prop’s performance yet as we haven’t had the boat in the water yet.
Perfect replacement. thank you
Perfect replacement
Perfect match to the original Chris Craft blue. Competitive price and delivery was quick
Great Product, easy to install, work well
Obtaining magnesium anodes to install on the OMC Cobra (SX-C) sterndrive, for fresh water use. Received the anode within a week of ordering the part, which is not going to be installed until Spring.
