This is a 1 1/8" aluminum tube.

I have tried to find someone who can straighten this but have not. Also I do not know if I will be able toget it absolute and I have found a new CDI system installed for about the same price.

sorry if this sounds ignorant but though i sail with a friend on his boat i dont 
yet have my own. i would like to help though. can you tell me what material that 
tube is made from? if its pvc you might be able to restore its straightness by 
heating it carefully with a heat gun while the tube is squeezed between two 2 x 
4's with angle iron pieces tacked to their sides lenthwise. go slow!!! dont use 
too much heat. on the other hand new pieces of pvc can be joined and cut to 26 
feet. let me know what you end up doing. where are you located? john b

Still not having much luck finding a 26 foot tube. I am starting to consider 
going with a CDI.

I need to do something to get the boat going again.
