    Spark Plug Change - Remove tip or not? - Need help

    WOW- I’ve been changing my plugs each year (2015 boat) and always felt the coil didn’t sit right on the plugs. I thought I’ve read and seen every post/topic on our engines and never saw this. Never thought I would need to modify my plugs other than ensure gap. My boats still in storage...

    Rotax 4-Tec Supercharged Oil Type - Need Help

    Probably better if you start a new post on this. Might get more views. I found the coil here but it’s $108 each. At least this gives you a part number to work with for searching. Try searching seadoo sites too. Might help. 0460679 Ignition Coil - Johnson/Evinrude, OMC | Crowley Marine

    New Boater, Engine Trouble with 2016 Scarab 195 HO Impulse, 250 HP
