Do you guys change your plugs every year in your outboards, I've been doing it the last several years and wondered at times if it was a bit of overkill??

I do the same thing. For no more than what they cost, you might as well do it. Better safe than sorry!
On my Opti-Max, the plugs are recommended to be changed after 100 hours, then the next is at 300 hours, I believe. Been awhile since I read the book though.

I used to do the same thing. However I did not last year & did not have a bit of trouble. Mine are $7 each (X6) = $42 (OUCH)
Which wouldn't be so bad,except I always have to buy something else every spring (batteries, tires, its always something).
I do however, keep a set of brand new Sparklies in the boat (just in case):)
I always put in new plugs every spring. When I put my boat away for the winter I always fog my engine very heavy and after I take it out and run it for the first time in the spring to clean out the fogging oil, I replace the plugs and it seems to always run better because I do believe that the fogging oil may foul the plugs. Just my .02 because my plugs do not cost that much.
