    Spark plug torque

    I fogged my 2011 200 pro xs engine in the fall for the winter. What should my spark plugs be torqued down to? I need to check them in the spring. Is there any easy way to get to these in this motor? Mercury did a fine job of putting an elephant in a shoe box! Lol

    I used a short extension a med extension and a swivel extension all were easy except number 6 It took a few minutes one piece of advice is to get some pluw wires to pull the boots there exspensive if you mess one up

    Recommend utilizing a 12-13" piece of fuel line to thread the plugs into the head. This helps you to prevent crossthreading/damage to threads.

    Spark plugs should be torqued to 20 ft. lbs on this engine model.
