should plug wires on a 2 stroke outboard motor be crossed? I had heard that they should to prevent cross firing

No. Each cylinder should be seperate going to the plugs.

I think you are gettng that idea from car mechanics. They are talking about parallel wires and inductive voltage from one to the other. Whatever, it is not a problem on outboards---at least not any that I am aware of.

Thanks for the reply's...man this site is GREAT.

Could having them crossed account for a rough idle while in gear?
