    I run NGK plugs
    Your OEM is a AC MR43T
    NGK # is BR6FS , if you want to run those or any parts store can do a crossover for you for about any plug you wish.

    No
    I wouldn't use auto wires
    Marine wires have stainless steel or brass connectors for corrosion resistance
    I doubt std plug wires would last long
