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??

That's a fact, but I doubt the economics of using such expensive plugs
is such a mundane application; sort of like using premium gas in a car
designed for regular.

Lead free gas has extended life of plugs so much that it doesn't really
matter what you pay for them.

Obviously somebody doesn't know that else this thread wouldn't exist.

Wonder why various car manufacturers include platinum plugs in their
vehicles even though they were designed from day 1 to run on unleaded? I
suspect there is a difference.

I didn't know there was much mystery. In cars they generally last 100
000 miles. Takes two hours to change them with my ride.
