Thanks Grey...    your answer really helps. I learned a lot from this 
newsgroup. I really appreciate that.

 Dead on answer, so many people complain about cheap fish finders when in 
 fact it is non resistor plugs causing all the 'static' on the screen.  On 
a 
 normal performance engine, no advantage to running non resistor plugs, the 
 slight increase in spark voltage will not benefit you.  Also, think of 
your 
 neighbours if you buy plain plugs too, as you cruise through the marina 
and 
 drive their radio nuts.  I always used suppressor type plugs.. 
 
 And yes, of course, 2 plugs means you have 2 cylinders that both need a 
 coating of oil to avoid internal rust, each piston and set of rings should 
 be oiled for storage..

  Do you listen to AM radio while the engine is running? 
  If so you would hear the god awful racket non suppresser plugs and wires 
 can 
  induce. Suppresser plugs and wires are designed to eliminate the 
  interference. 
  It can also affect your other electronic gizmos. 
  No problem? 
  Listen to FM? 
  Ignore the sticker.

   I opened up the cover of my Mercury 9.9 today and saw that there were 
2 
   spark plugs connected to the engine. On the sticker it said: 
   
   Standard spark plug: NGK BP8HS-15 
   Suppressor Spark plug: NGK BPZ8HS-15 
   
   I read the manual, it doesn't mention anything about the suppressor 
 spark 
   plug.  What is a suppressor spark plug, anyway? 
   
   To winterize my motor, do I have to fog oil into both plugs? 
   
   Thanks..
