Your mechanic just got excited because he has more work now to change the plugs.
Your car plugs are exposed to way more wet/salt conditions than your boat and for the most part the plug body is a non issue. I would think cars would be more likely to use SS plug bodies.

Ahh I thought the samething but you have to consider how much air circulation u get around a car motor vs one in a engine compartment.
I see your point with auto parts and would prob use them too if the were virtually identical but this just doesn't seem like it was the right application for this boat.

The other thing he can try is hammering on a 6 or 12 point metric socket. Sometimes that does the trick.

I run the racing autolite automotive plugs. But maybe your right im out of my mind. There is no issue with running the plugs. Ive never had a problem what so ever also I agree with griff on all points. Although there is a differance when you do your own work you get down in the bilge and always checking everything evertime the hatch opend just for piece of mind. I enjoy being a bilge rat ask any CT member on the board. Come down to making sure the the salt (if thats what you run in) is washed off completly and doing maintance when do and preventitive maintance.
