i'm a relatively new Moomba owner this is my 3rd summer with the boat and so far we are very happy. i was wondering if you can point me in the right direction on a few things. i replaced my plugs the first year we got the boat as i didn't know when they had last been done. i put in at that time the AC Delco 41-993 plugs (which is what i was told replaced the original 41-932).i thought i would replace the plugs to start with and was wondering what your thoughts are on using a more standard plug and what numbers to look for in the AC Delco and or can or should i try an NGK...i see some numbers like NGKTR5...can i use a non platinum or iridum plug? should i go hotter or cooler plug?
This year for some reason we have noticed the boat has been using more fuel than in the past (we think this is the case) my fuel gauge is working and the motor runs fine based on starting idling and performance to what i can tell. i do notice even when the temp is cooler outside and the water isn't hot that my temp gauge on the boat runs at the higher end of where i normally see it? (i think...i don't always make note of where it is). everything seems to be working fine and running fine so i'm wondering if you have any thoughts. . also, do you think there's anything else i can look at doing other than plugs? does it have a thermostat that i should change? should i put a colder thermostat in if so?
any or all tips and tricks you can lend would be Greatly appreciated.
thanks
