Champion RV8C Copper Plus Marine Spark Plug - Champion Spark Plug 121
The Champion RV8C is a Copper Plus marine spark plug (Champion Spark Plug Number 121) built as a quality OEM replacement for gasoline marine engines. It uses a copper core center electrode that improves conductivity and gives precise control over heat range, which helps the plug resist overheating under sustained heavy engine loads and extends service life compared to plugs without a copper core.
The shell is finished with Champion's patented TinTac and ULTRASEAL coatings for maximum corrosion resistance in the wet, salt-exposed marine environment, and the plug incorporates Champion's patented SAC-9 semiconductor resistor for maximum EMI and RFI suppression, reducing interference with onboard electronics and marine radios. Each RV8C is manufactured to ISO and SAE standards for consistent, proven ignition performance.
This is a standard 14mm thread spark plug with an alloy steel shell, sold as a single plug (Unit Count: 1). It is intended as a direct, like-for-like replacement wherever a Champion 121 / RV8C spark plug is specified.
