I have decided to replace the spark plugs on my Evenrude E-Tec 50 hp. outboard rather than having the dealer do it for me.
Apparently, the service manual says to use a little di-electric grease on the inside of the boot and on the ribs of the plug's ceramic body.
It also says that some "Evenrude Triple-Guard" grease should be put around the crush washer of the plug.
Question #1; Is it OK to put a thin film of di-electric grease on the end of the plug where the boot's electrical connection snaps on?
Question #2; Is it OK to put a thin film of anti-seize grease on the threads of the plug?
That would be 3 different types of grease in 4 different places on the plug.
Anyone have any suggestions regarding lube prepping a spark plug for installation?
