I have a 98 Bayliner Capri with a Merc 3.0L I am new to boating and want to learn as much as I can.. How often do you change spark plugs and wires. I dont know when this was done or if it was but how long d they last for.

If you change them what kind do you use? Are some better then the others and where do I buy them at.. Thanks for your help:eek:

Howdy,


Get yourself an OEM Mercury manual. The plug type is in there. Napa will have them in what ever brand you like.

They last a good long time. In most pleasure boats they'll last for years.....

Ayuh,... I agree with Rick,...

But it don't hurt to take a peek at 'em once a year,...
Sometimes findin' a Problem, before it IS 1 is pretty cool...

Plug wires in boats, usually last darn near forEver...
