How often should the spark plug wires be changed? (on a 60 degree looper if it matters).

parts on boats were built to last almost forever any rubs or burns on them?

One has electrical tape on it. On rhere when I got it
Look at them running at night to see spark jumping .
I ordered new ones. It was more of a curiosity question. But running it at night is a great idea!.
if something is bugging me I correct it, might help might not but I move on in my head (to another issue at times)Originally Posted by Ganno595

Well all I can say is you and I are one in the same in that aspect. I just bought this boat and am getting it to a point where my head will let me have some peace. But I'm also a tinker-er and just like to do things to keep my mind active. I certainly don't think the parts people mind.
brothers from a different mother than!!! sound like me to a tee!!!
inherited a nice but far from perfect basscat from dad and just sold it. was a great fishing rig but lots of little issues would have drove me crazy correcting them all even if not causing any issues at all just cosmetics
maybe it is the auto tech in us??

Spritz Windex on the wires at night while running. If there are any cracks or tears you will see the results. Also ohm check the wires, they are the gray colored ones

They are they grey wires now. The ones I ordered are blue from CDI. Am I looking for a specific reading or just general continuity
1000 ohms per foot if my memory serves me???????????????????????????????????

It's very possible. I consider myself more of a small engine mechanic than an auto tech. I also love restoring chainsaws. I just make a living in the auto industry accessory world. Lifts, leather, audio, window tint, etc.brothers from a different mother than!!! sound like me to a tee!!!
