Spark Plug on Mercury question

Dead on answer, so many people complain about cheap fish finders when in
fact it is non resistor plugs causing all the 'static' on the screen. On a
normal performance engine, no advantage to running non resistor plugs, the
slight increase in spark voltage will not benefit you. Also, think of your
neighbours if you buy plain plugs too, as you cruise through the marina and
drive their radio nuts. I always used suppressor type plugs..

And yes, of course, 2 plugs means you have 2 cylinders that both need a
coating of oil to avoid internal rust, each piston and set of rings should
be oiled for storage..
