    I found four spark plugs in my cupboard after I had sold my boat, this is from a Yamaha F90 outboard, $15 for all 4, brand new, never used. I’m in Savage

    I never heard of a spark plug being banned before, I bet it going to be one dandy of a reason.

    Yea most people don’t know about them. For $15 you should buy them just to keep on the shelf for spares. There pretty rare to find now days

    Can you explain why they are banned? Seems perplexing to me. I did some interweb surfing and couldnt find anything about it.

    They were banned because Merc found out they would make a 9.9 run like a 15. Hp.
    JK,they do fit several small Merc 4 strokes though.

    As eelpout mentioned, the heavy plugs improved performance which led to people burning down engines. The engine manufactures did not like the heavy plugs because they were having to replace more parts under warranty and eventually got them banned

    Are they past their “Best used by date”? (sarcasm) jester
    Good price though, save about 50%.
