    What does outboard use as far as spark plugs, lower unit oil, 2-stroke oil, etc.? Thanks in advance.

    Do they sell those kits just for the newer outboards? Mines a 2008.

    You can also look it up on Boats.net
    Plugs. https://www.boats.net/product/yamaha...42f6e7c94a6990
    NGK BR7HS-10 you should be able to get those at any automotive store too..
    2 stroke oil doesn't matter that much IMO.. As long as it is being mixed correctly, there are some better ones, not sure if it's worth it though..
    Lower unit oil as also pretty easily found in a lot of places. If you have no leaks and change it annually, you won't have problems regardless of the name brand. Again, my opinion. The new models have a recommended Yamaha ACC-GLUBE-HD "Recommended for all Yamaha V8 F300, V8 F350, V6 VMAX SHO 200, V6 VMAX SHO 250, & V6 Offshore models (2010 & newer)"

    Good luck!

    Like Hawgin said BR7HS-10's are the plugs. I have been using Yamalube engine oil since motor was new. I have also been using ringfree in my fuel. As far as lower i run the Lucas M8 but that is my choice.
