kinkaid 9/25/12

well today was kind of a disaster day, although i did catch 5 med sized bass throwing crank baits and trolling off some of the main lake points along the marina bank line, it was very windy and one of my cylinders quit firing, switched the plugs and wires around still no fire on the same cylinder, no spark to plug its a 96 6.6hp evinrude..... on a car i would say bad coil pack, not sure if that is what puts spark to plug on outboards, but i think i can see what part i need to replace, not sure, any help would be nice. it did start firing twice today, but then later in the day it wouldnt fire again
