Can someone give me the torque specifications for the spark plugs on a 2014 2 stroke Mercury 150 Optimax Pro XS?
By
Should I use a little bit of anti-seize on the new spark plugs?

Per service manual:

Before reinstalling spark plugs, clean away dirt
on the spark plug seats. Install plugs finger tight,
and tighten 1/4 turn or torque to 20 lb. ft. (27 N·m).

No anti-seize required.

Man! That 20 lb. ft seems awfully high, but I'll run with it.

Thank you T Bird!
