Spark Plug Wire Replacement

[imported_rick]

I need to replace my plug wires and I was wondering if there was anything special about outboard wires or is it ok to use automotive wires?

I live in NJ and the nearest boat store is in Delaware but there's an Advance Auto parts store a few blocks from my house.

If automotive wires are ok to use, should or could they be carbon/graphite or copper wire?

Thanks for your help.

Copper wire only.

The fancy ones have too much resistance for the ignition system on an outboard, and will not fire, and may damage ignition system.
