Sparkplugs.com comes up with the Champion QC12GMC plugs instead of the XC12PEPB when the 175 is selected through the plug finder feature.

Could have sworn that the XC used to come up before.

So, is the QC12GMC the currently recommended plug for the old 175s?

They're even cheaper to boot (small deal), but are also listed as a "premium" plug versus the "regular" XC.

Gotta buy a bunch to last the next couple 'o years, so need some help.

BTW, for a 2001 Evinrude 15 4S kicker, would the Champion (RA8HC) be a better plug than the NGK (DCPR7E)? Just wondering if one manufacturer is "better" than the other?

Thanks!!
