    Hey gang,
    Can somebody answer this questiion for me?
    Somewhere on this internet should be a site where a person can look up spark plug gap settings. Has anyone or does any one know where to find it.
    Or if you know them already just let me know.

    I have 2000 Mercury 175 EFI and 2000 Mercury 9.9 4 stroke
    Thanks for you help gang

    call a dealer/service department. Get it straight from the service manual. No other place in my honest opinion!

    Also be aware that you did indeed get the right spark plugs, as many Mercury outboards call for plugs that DO NOT have electrodes which require gapping.

    Again, a service manual will specifically tell you which plug to purchase.

    Lonnie, just take a hammer, and flatten them out. Then go buy a couple of Yamaha’s!

    Just joking! Like Gary said, your best bet is to call a dealer..
    Tell Craig I will be up at Mille Lacs this weekend painting the cabin for this fall!

    Thanks for the help guys. I will check on it tomorrow.
    Hey Tuck I will tell Craig you need help painting the house this weekend.
    Dern I wish October would hurry up and get here.
    Hey Tuck is it true you are now the proud owner of a dimpled darling car?

    You tell that Harlan maniac buddy of yours that if he comes up and paint, we will end up doing the walls in “Modern Michelob”! Can’t be having that!

    She will be done soon! When you guys come up, we will BBQ in the yard. She is small, but it has a decent yard.

    Yeah, I got belted pretty good today! I thought all my windows were gonna go…

    Call Eddy Lyback at Lyback’s Marine in Isle.

    One of the 3 best Merc shops in the state!

    Hey Tuck….friends don’t let friends buy Yamy-ha-ha-ha’s!!

    I know 2 different guys fishing the “Super Pro” series that have had 6 new Yamaha motors this year between the 2 of them, and they both think the Optimax is the most dependable motor on the market today!! …

    Tuck;
    How much hail did we get? I was at the office all day.

    Rain gauge in the yard said 0.5″.
