I know, right !

Yet so many absolutely cannot tolerate me.  I just don't understand it. 😅

There is a sticker under the cowling that tells you the correct plug and its appropriate gap.  

2-stroke 90 is NGK BR8HS-10  gap=.040

4-stroke 90 is NGK LFR5A-11 gap=.044

Thanks.  Wanted to pick them up before I got to the lake, never know if NAPA is going to have them.  They made a 4 stroke in '03?

This is the permatex material I recommended.  It is silicone.  And it's good stuff.  I hate that gooey stuff too.

Yep.  Yamaha, Suzuki, and Tohatsu made all of the 4-stroke outboards.  Regardless of what the cowling said.

And still do, I believe.

It's worth noting, the RTV that stinks to high heaven like vinegar, is corrosive with aluminum. I don't know if blue is that way or not.

Can't way whether or not you will have a problem, but that is what the pedants on internet forums say.

All RTV's etch and grab, it's ok.  That's what it's designed to do.    It's not "corrosive" but I understand why someone might think that.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Maybe let it dry first before screwing it back in so your not glueing it in place..

Ok.  You guys got me confused.  Here's a pic of the cap that my wife took at the lake today, as I sit at my desk working.  It's the white cap in front of the motor.

Wow, what engineer thought THAT was a good idea !
