Thanks

I do full tune ups to my boats yearly. This way it's always running most efficently & I dont have to worry about stuff siezing as much either.. Its cheap insurance.. :)

The AC plugs for the H.O. are 18 bucks a pop ,,, the equivalent NGK's are 9 bucks a pop, and I swear by NGK's so 75.00 for plugs isn't gonna break the bank...

I hope you are not getting these plugs through the Merc. dealer. Much cheaper at the local GM dealer.
