Place to buy marine products?

[thecoolnessrune]

Trying to get an old 175HP carburated Mercury to run more smoothly. Wondering where I can find some spark plug wires for the unit to buy online as no one seems to carry them around here from "Pull and save" places. I see lots of places online but they all look kind of "cheap". Which I'm sure isn't a bad thing I just dont want to get rotten luck that involves chargebacks etc.

So is there any reputable place online that sells marine parts? Specifically for older engines?

And if the trouble is just bad plug wires, you should be able to make them
up yourself with a good crimp tool and the correct plug boots. Use a nice
8mm wire. Put the boot on the wire first and the Strip it back about 1/2 inch
and fold the center conductor back on the jacket. Then slide it into the plug
terminal and crimp. Most good automotive style crimp tools will have a die
for doing spark plug wires.
