Any recommendations for what brand of spark plugs for my outboard

I need to replace the spark plugs on my 1987 Mariner 60hp tiller, does anyone have any suggestions as far as brands go?

Thanks

Krats, suspect your manual will recomend Champion plugs. Many folks I know prefer NKG as it's their opinion the quality is a bit better.

I've used champions and NGK's in my boat. Never noticed any difference. I change them once a year regardless so I never really wear them out to the point where I could call one better than the other. I usually just buy which ever is in stock in my size. This time it was NGK.

I should add that my snowmobiles seem to prefer the NGK's.

NGK plugs are of a higher quality than Champions. Most manf. list Champions as the OE plug, thats because Champion practacially gives there plugs away to the manufacturers. If you could get a plug for .25 and the better quality one you would have to pay a dollar for, which one would you pick? Manufacters usually put Champion plugs in there motors, because Champion gives it to them for so cheap. Usually the end users, US, want the best. Go NGK you will be happy with it.

Thanks for your input everyone. I picked up a some NGKs' on the way home tonight.

I think NGK are recomended in Yamaha so thats what I use. They seem to do the trick.

I would also guess that NGK's come factory installed on the Honda and Suzuki's as well.

Hi Steve!!! Ray from Ashland,WI here...I was wondering if you have any info on fishing the Grand Marais Area. I am heading up that way to do some fishing on aug 12th and 13th..also was wondering about parking my boat up there overnight...have to run 2 minneapolis first on aug 11th and don't want to pull it down there. Give me a holler if u have my cell number. I lost yours.

Mercury recommends Champion plugs. NGK will last a bit longer if you don't change them until you need to. Someone mentioned that Champion almost gives their plugs to the manufactures, that is closer to the truth than you think. Champion makes a good majority of the spark plugs on the market today. Including AC Delco, Motorcraft, Harley Davidson, just to name some of the bigger companies.

Ray e-mail me at [email protected] and I can hook ya up with a very knowledgable Grand Marais guide.
