    Whats the best spark plug to buy?

    Looking to put new plugs in boat, what does everyone recommend on replacing them with. The motor is a Johnson 225 Venum.

    Thanks

    I've used the Champion Marine plugs in my old Johnson outboard for years and have never had a problem............as cheap as plugs are, I just replace them every year for peace of mind........

    IMO- I would stick with what is in it now if it runs properly. I have a 200 Merc and run the NGK plugs that came with it origionally. Tried to switch and run Champions and Motorcraft, both fouled within a mile of the ramp I launched from. Fortunately I always keep my last set in the boat and could switch back. So from that point have stayed with the NGK's. Good Luck!!
