    About 100 hours is average life as the center electrode starts to get rounded and the ground electrode erodes. The engine also requires complete service at 100 hour intervals so it works out great.

    A guy at a marine shop, huh?

    Was he by chance a currently trained Evinrude tech, just a parts guy, or (God forbid) a salesman?
