What are everyones opinions and experiences with these plugs? What do you like better?<br /><br />I have an 1987 85HP FORCE outboard that runs a little low at idle and when first engaging into gear. Some suggestions came through on a previous post to change to NGK. I am currently using Champion.<br /><br />Thanks everyone....

What plug does your manual tell you to use? If it's Champion then stick with them. I personally have had no problems w/ Champions and will use them from now on with good and oil.<br /><br />Dutch

I normally swear by NGK in my motorcycles, cars, trucks but this season I went with champions (had NGK's last season) in my outboard. I really did not see/feel any differance. I went with the "recommended" by the book plugs. I decided not to push my luck.<br /><br />Bob :cool:

I know on my 87 225 looper that the Champion QL77JC4 is the only way to go.<br />My thoughts are to use what the engineers used when they designed the engine.<br />Reddog
