    Submerged wet spark plug, can I still use it?

    As I was installing spark plugs today in my boat, one dropped to the bottom of the boat. I was able to locate it in some standing water and was able to retrieve it.

    Can I still use it or do I need a new spark plug? It does not appear damaged in any way.

    New Sparker or used, assuming new.
    If you have a blow tip w/ a compressor, give it a good blow. If no, go redneck with your mouth compressor. Dry it off, good as new. Maybe a small shot of WD40. Recheck your gap.
