    If the marina says the ones you have now are the right ones, i would say you are ok. Using shorter threads I don't think will cause any damage, but i bet they were alittle less efficient, whereas using too long of threads could potentialy cause the cylinder heads to hit the spark plug, but if the marina says they are ok, then I would use them.
