Re: Spark plugs
Bring an old one to napa to match, they're about half price as a boat shop.

Re: Spark plugs
But make damn sure they cannot get wet! And grease the shit outta em on the threads on install. Been there done that, saved a buck and spent quite some time with busted off plugs etc with the non-marine ones. I'd a been fine had I applied thread grease first and/or didn't have a hose break spraying the outside of the block with saltwater.

Re: Spark plugs
Napa had my same MARINE plugs, only they were $1.25, instead of $4.00 at the boat shop.

Re: Spark plugs
Mots my wrong. They do carry the marine stuff. Lotsa guys use the truck stuff if they have freshwater cooling and a decent enclosure to keep the plugs dry.
For that matter NAPA's shit is almost always cheaper if they carry it regardless of the item.God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.

Re: Spark plugs
Send a PM to DaGoose, he just bought 100 plugs on the internet, cheap, due to trolling and low RPM's the engines really go through plugs and they get fouled up fast.
