Can someone tell me what the spark plug gap should be for a 2000 Evinrude 225 Ficht? Shop manual says consult emissions sticker but the sticker is gone off of this engine. Currently has Champion QC12PEP plugs but I think I want to try some NGK's.

Not that I'm not going to index them but does anyone know what happens if the plugs aren't indexed? My guess is poor performance and fouled plugs but I worked with a guy that claimed he blew his motor up because he didn't index the plugs.
 
They gap at .030 and if not indexed they will foul and cause idle and misfires. Not indexing is not what blew up your buddys motor...more likely low cooling as Ficht/Etec need impeller changed ever 2 yrs no matter the water flow..
