Abstract
A repair jig for drilling and retapping bores provided in a marine engine distributor is disclosed. The repair jig includes a frame having a plurality of alignment mechanisms operatively associated therewith. Bores formed in the alignment mechanisms are alignable with bores of the marine engine distributor. Once aligned, drill bits and taps can be sequentially inserted through the repair jig and into the distributor for removing broken fasteners and retapping the distributor bores, respectively.
