Conditioning, tuning outboard insure 'go', eliminate 'row'

Most small boat owners will be putting between 50 and 60 hours on their outboards this season. The amount of wear and tear on the engine is equal to putting 10,000 miles on your car! In that length of time, for a two-cylinder outboard, • Each spark plug fires 15,000,000 times • Contact points open and close 30,000,000 times • The magneto delivers 30,000,000 charges of current, 15,000 volts per charge • Spark plug wires deliver a total 450,000,000,000 volts • The crankshaft will rotate 30,000,000 times On this basis, it’s easy to see why engine parts, particularly the ignition system, wear out, says Champion Spark Plug Company. Conditioning your outboard before the boating season begins can eliminate the embarrassing situation where you are the first in the water — and also the first out, long before the fun season ends! Make sure spark plugs are cleaned and gapped. If this was done last season, consider installing new spark plugs to get this season off to a good start. Go over the rest of the ignition system carefully making sure contact points
