Can you use automotive spark plugs in place of marine spark plugs.

Use champion QL77JC4 for your motor.

Am I missing something, I pulled the spark plugs and there is nothing on these plugs to gaps. Are there plugs out there that you don't have to gap.
QL16V is what I pulled out.

QL16V is a surface gap plug (no side electrode) that replaces in a lot of cases the old UL plugs.
Mainly same characteristics, but better idling.
OK for hard driving and commercial use.
Change to (Q)L77JC4 as mentioned above.
