Why fix what isn't broken?
That engine was designed to use those particular plugs. What do you hope to accomplish by running a different plug?

Re: spark plugs

hate to butt in to this (i'm not hi-jacking honest) but I find it hard to get Champion plugs over here , does anyone know if there are an NGK equivalent and if so are they recommended to run in OMC motors???

Re: spark plugs

you can run any equivilent plugs you want to run......but you may not be happy with the outcome. stay with the recommended parts.

Pretty much since the dawn of OMC, Evinrudes, Johnsons, Gales have had Champion brand plugs recommended by the factory.

Well.... as bad as it sounds, you are hijacking, but if you plug your engine info into here;

It will give you the NGK equivalent, that may or may not run as good as a Champion. For more info I would start my own thread if I were you.

Re: spark plugs

You may run an alternate brand, but be sure to stay away from anything with 'R' in the spec. But as said above, preferably stay with the original Champion.
