To check the plugs you need to run at a cruising speed and then shutdown,
pull the plugs and take a look at them. Idling around for anytime is going
to load them up on a 2 stroke.

Any caution here about letting the heads cool down?
They're aluminum, right?

Bass boats run flat out, then shut down fast all the time. The heads
seem fine

I meant to say pulling plugs from a hot aluminum head.
I stretched some threads doing that once.
Thereafter there was no more screwing them in easily by hand.
Might be a head can cool faster than a plug too.
In any case it's better to let the whole shebang cool off to near
ambient, which is what I always do now.
