Installation Notes
- Ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery for safety.
- Clean the area around the old spark plug to prevent debris from entering the cylinder.

- Using a spark plug socket, loosen and remove the old spark plug.
- Verify the gap on the new spark plug matches your engine's specification (preset to 0.9mm).
- Thread the new spark plug by hand to avoid cross-threading. It should turn easily.
- Tighten the plug with a torque wrench to the manufacturer's recommended specification.
- Re-attach the spark plug boot securely and reconnect the battery.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this plug fits my Yamaha outboard?
Check your engine's model and year against the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table. You can also verify the part number in your owner's manual or by inspecting your current plug. This plug fits specific 2.5–6 HP 4-stroke models from 2009 and 2014–2017.
Is the spark plug gap preset?
Yes, this spark plug comes with a preset gap of 0.9mm (0.036 inch). While pre-gapped, it's always best practice to double-check the gap with a feeler gauge and adjust if necessary to match your engine's specific requirements.
What are the signs of a bad spark plug?
Common symptoms include difficulty starting the engine, rough idling, engine misfires, reduced power, and poor fuel economy. A visual inspection may show a fouled, burnt, or damaged electrode.
How often should I replace my outboard's spark plug?
For most recreational outboards, a good service interval is annually or every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Refer to your owner's manual for manufacturer-specific recommendations.
What is the difference between this and an OEM spark plug?
This is an aftermarket replacement part, not an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component. It has been engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications using comparable materials and manufacturing processes to offer reliable performance at a better value.
