There's no need to pay good money for a spark tester for your outboard ignition. Just do what I do:
Note: This tester is for one-time use only, in most cases. In my case, I've managed to get it to work more than once, though.
What I do is call my moron brother-in-law and have him come over for a beer. Then, I pull the spark plug wire in question off the plug and have him put his pinkie finger in it and pull the rope. He immediately lets me know if I have spark in that wire.
You'll want to send the small children indoors before using this tester.
