eBay is your friend though. Replacement or upgrade.

I run a china one, and know a couple other people that do also. No problems related to it yet, I'm on year three. My little brothers on year two and I some people have run them way longer than that. Like $50 to your door.

I hear ya, I have an exhaust leak I need to get taken car of also.

Took it to a local guy for $30 bucks he did some stuff (not sure what all be did) but it was drop in and go ready. He "made it better" according to the guy that told me to do it. And he has had his on his boat for 5 years now.

That already solid state. Similar to a GM HEI (!the late model stuff).

Run it.

Yes, that's what he made it.

I don't have a super high dollar crazy horse power motor so it does what it worked for the price.

The West Marine link is wrong, at least shows the wrong picture... Should be a part number 18-5429 fro Sierra.
