Hello all, 1st post
I bought a 1995 20' pro craft that has a 200xri that was running great for about 6 trips . I launched the boat it started up just fine drove about 5 minutes at half throttle came to a stop and let it idle a couple minutes shut her down fished for about an hour tried to restart the main engine and it wouldn't fire . I got it back home turned the key in the driveway and it fired right up.It did the same thing the next two outings. I turned up the idle and that seemed to help but it would run rough on the second starting. I went to the local merc dealer and asked for a set of plugs at 1st they handed me a set of ngk bu8h and then asked me if I had electronics and switched them out for a set of Ngk 7447 buz8h, the boat started up every time and ran great until the last outing it seems that I need to turn the idle up some more. This seems a little off.
Doing some research turns up some different answers as to which brand plug I should be running, I talked a local boat guy and he said that every blown up merc that he's ever seen has had ngk plugs in them.
Any recommendations would be appreciated
Thanks in advance, Rich
