hi

thanks for all the info, help full people is hard to find in this world and age

I personally will change mine every 50-60 hours.

hi

we mostly do fishing off the ski, if i can break it down: 10% at 30mph on the sea, 10% playing in a dam (flat out racing, skiing, and so on) and 80% trolling (at idle speed) in the sea.

how often will you change my oil, plugs, filters?

thanks

It doesn't seem to make sense to change plugs after just 10 hrs. Is this justified and why ?

I did the plug change Saturday afternoon (at 70 hours). EXTREEMLEY easy! Took me no more that 10 mins. total.

What is the torque spec for plugs in the 215s and in the 255s if different?

Great info.

I change the plugs in mine the begin of every season, this is ok though right?

so the gap on the NGK 4339 DCPR8E is .028" correct? all of mine out of the box from GH were about .026" when i checked them.

Wonder If I should take the Spark # 1 Again, Just did the Plugs but spark Number One is still in my Head, This Spark plug was the only one I didn't put oil to put it back hand tight, Once I put the Wrench in for tork it went a few Loops before tighten, I guess it was not fully in by hand, Then I tight it with fear trying not to tight it too much. The otehrs where a breaze, Since they where allready at the tighten process so I just gave them a 1/4 tight and where done. Should I repeat the process jut to make sure the Spark is all the way in and properly tighten, I know you don't need much force on this machine ? After all it will only take a minute?
