Gap should be .030 unless you are planning to do a lot of trolling then I would gap them at .40 and remember that the plugs of choice for a evinrude or johnson are champion

"Gap should be .030 unless you are planning to do a lot of trolling then I would gap them at .40" <br /><br />I've seen this advice given several times here on iboats. Would .035" be the optimized setting for both low and high speeds?<br /><br />Israel Hands
