In my case, the reason I would like to use platinum plugs is because they
last a lot longer and do not have to be re-gapped like normal plugs do.

For me, it is not a matter of cost, but I figure the less I have to replace
or regap them, the more time I have out on the water.

My marine mechanic recently told me not to use platinum plugs in my boat
(Volvo Penta 5.7 raw water cooled). He says that they run too cool and
tend
to get fouled as a result.

What is everyone's opinion on this? Has anyone experienced problems with
platinum plugs??
