Was wondering what the correct spark plug gap on a Mercruiser 4.3LXGENII is? Thanks

.045 is the gap. If you look on the plastic carb cover it should also tell you the type plug and the gap, and other tuneup data.
You should also have an oem Service manual.
Go to the link below and download manual #25 for your engine, and 14 for your drive.
