    What spark plugs do you use?

    Our 92 sea ray 454 has AC-MR43T Plugs listed on the air cleaner cover. Do you fellows use these plugs or maybe the champion RV8C or NGK BR6FS (If these numbers aren't right please feel free to holler.) Or are the AC's OK? Thank you in advance :smt100

    Do you remove the thermostat before winterizing?

    I'm worried about the thermostat closing while pumping in the antifreeze. It's a 454, I know warm it up completely then pump it in. How do we know for sure it hasn't closed? I'm 99% leaning toward removing it. What do you guys do?? I'm in Pa so it gets dang cold outside.
